Question

Explain variable partitioning in short. 

Answer 1

1. The number of partitions and their sizes vary while using variable partitioning.
2. When the system is being generated, they are not defined.
3. The operating system creates these divisions during runtime, and their sizes vary.
4. The process for allocating RAM is much the same as it is for fixed partitions.
5. Any partition could be free or allocated to a process at any one time. Additionally, the starting address of the partition is not fixed with variable partitioning.
