Write a C program to simulate the following contiguous memory
allocation techniques
a) Worst-fit b) Best-fit c) First-fit
DESCRIPTION
One of the simplest methods for memory allocation is
to divide memory into several fixed-sized partitions. Each partition may
contain exactly one process. In this multiple-partition method, when a
partition is free, a process is selected from the input queue and is loaded
into the free partition. When the process terminates, the partition becomes
available for another process. The operating system keeps a table indicating
which parts of memory are available and which are occupied. Finally, when a
process arrives and needs memory, a memory section large enough for this
process is provided. When it is time to load or swap a process into main
memory, and if there is more than one free block of memory of sufficient size,
then the operating system must decide which free block to allocate. Best-fit
strategy chooses the block that is closest in size to the request. First-fit
chooses the first available block that is large enough. Worst-fit chooses the
largest available block.
