The worst fit algorithm is a means by which an operating system can choose which space in memory to store information (this algorithm can also be used for allocating hard disk space). The algorithm searches for free-space in memory in which it can store the desired information. The algorithm selects the largest possible free space that the information can be stored on (i.e., that is bigger than the information needing to be stored) and stores it there. This is directly opposed to the best fit algorithm which searches the memory in much the same way as before, only instead chooses the open memory space which is the smallest available which the information can be stored in (i.e., that is bigger than the information needing to be stored).

What are the limitations and drawbacks of the worst fit algorithm in terms of resource allocation and optimization?

The worst fit algorithm has limitations and drawbacks when it comes to resource allocation and optimization. One drawback is that it may lead to inefficient use of resources as it tends to allocate the largest available block of memory, which can result in fragmentation and wasted space. This can impact the overall performance and efficiency of the system. Additionally, the worst fit algorithm may not always find the best fit for a particular resource request, leading to suboptimal allocation decisions.
