Paging

Paging is a memory management technique used in computers to efficiently use and organize the system's RAM. Instead of loading entire programs into memory, the system breaks data into small, fixed-sized blocks called pages. These pages can be stored in different locations in memory as needed. When a program runs, the system keeps track of where each page is stored, allowing it to access only the necessary data quickly. This method optimizes memory use, improves performance, and enables the computer to run multiple programs smoothly without needing all data to be loaded at once.
