Memory allocation is the act of reserving a chunk of memory for some set of data. In programming terms, this is normally done by declaring a variable. Large arrays of data will require large blocks of contiguous memory, which the programmer must request from the operating system.

What are types of memory allocation?
There are two types of memory allocations. 1. Static memory allocation 2. Dynamic memory allocation
What Linked list uses.type of memory allocation?
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).

What is the use of Constructor with Dynamic allocation?
Constructors are necessary to initialize classes. It allows to avoid to a lot of problems with unauthorized access of memory. Dynamic allocation makes possible allocation of memory during execution of program. If you do not use dynamic allocation, all required memory will be allocated during initialization phase (constructors are usually responsible for that). But you can't use more memory. Dynamic allocation was designed to overcome such problems.
Is an operating system responsible for managing processor time and memory allocation?
The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
What are types of memory allocation?
There are two types of memory allocations. 1. Static memory allocation 2. Dynamic memory allocation
What is meant by contiguous memory allocation in C?
Contiguous memory allocation in C programming refers to the assigning of consecutive memory blocks to a process. Contiguous memory allocation is one of the oldest and most popular memory allocation schemes in programming.
Compare and contrast dynamic memory allocation and the allocation of files in secondary storage?
Static Memory Allocation: Allocating the total memory requirements that a data structure might need all at once without regard for the actual amount needed at execution time. Dynamic Memory Allocation: The opposite strategy of static memory allocation - Dynamic Memory Allocation, involves allocating memory as-needed.
What Linked list uses.type of memory allocation?
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).
What is contiguous memory allocation in os?
Memory allocation: When a program asks for memory and gets it. Contiguous allocation: When the memory is in one big block, for example memory addresses 1000-2000, as opposed to "fragmented allocation" where the memory comes as several smaller blocks in different places, for example memory addresses 1000-1050, 2050-2125, ...
How do you display matrix in c using dynamic memory allocation?
Memory allocation is not necessary to display a matrix.

Difference between contiguous and non contiguous memory allocation?
In a contiguous memory allocation there is no overhead during execution of a program. In a non contiguous memory allocation address translation is performed during execution.
At what time the memory is allocated for variable in c and c?
Static memory allocation occurs at compile time where as dynamic memory allocation occurs at run time.
How is partitioned allocation different from relocatable partitioned allocation?
Partitioned allocation is a fixed memory allocation technique which memory spaces are divided into smaller fixed partition, while Relocatable partitioning use variable and repartitioning technique
What do you mean by run time memory allocation?
When the allocation of memory to the program is done on need, during the execution of a program, it is called as the dynamic memory allocation. Memory is allocated from a free memory pool called as heap.The only way to access this dynamically allocated memory is through pointers. Dynamically allocated memory can be freed at run time and again added to heap.
What is segmented page allocation?
Segmented page allocation is a type of memory management that uses base and bound registers to determine memory faults, similar to dynamic page allocation. More importantly it is different to dynamic page allocation since the entire process doesn't have to be in memory, similar to using virtual memory paging where the program is broken into pieces. Unlike virtual memory paging, the maximum virtual memory size is limited to the size of physical memory.
