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.

There are two types of memory allocations. 1. Static memory allocation 2. Dynamic memory allocation
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.
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).
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, ...
Memory allocation is not necessary to display a matrix.
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.
in early, computer system has contiguous memory allocation,each process is allocated in a single contiguous(together) memory!!(allocating into memory addresses one by one,)it has tackled memory fragmentation(both internal and external). not allocating for a fixed size memory block.so no internal fragmentation, allocating contiguously ,so no external fragmentation!!!
Static memory allocation occurs at compile time where as dynamic memory allocation occurs at run time.
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
