Nothing -- they are the same thing.
It is paging.

Nope, swapping and paging are essentially synonymous. Excessive paging is known as thrashing.
Difference between paging and what?
False. It is called Thrashing.
Exchanging data between RAM and paging files is referred to as "paging" or "swapping." When the system runs low on RAM, it moves less frequently accessed data from RAM to a paging file (also known as swap space) on the hard drive to free up memory for active processes. Conversely, when the data in the paging file is needed, it is swapped back into RAM. This process helps manage memory efficiently, allowing the system to run more applications than would fit in physical RAM alone.
In case of simple paging all pages should be in main memory to run a process..while in case of virtual memory paging pages can be loaded as needed by the processor i.e. called demand paging...
There are several different parameters one can use for measuring various statistics about paging and swapping. -S, -W, and -B are all related and display slightly different statistics.
Swapping was an older form of memory management. It was moving from/to secondary storage a whole program at a time, in a scheme known as roll-in/roll-out. Now swapping is a fairly close synonym of paging.
Default paging is what it already comes with. It is a pre-made template, while custom paging would be ones on ideas and creativity.
The paging file in Windows is commonly referred to as "pagefile.sys." This system file is used to manage virtual memory, allowing the operating system to utilize hard drive space to supplement physical RAM. It enables the system to handle larger workloads and run more applications simultaneously by swapping data between RAM and the disk.
Any operating system that allows for "paging" or "swapping" is capable of this.
