Worst Fit

Worst Fit is a method used in managing computer memory, where new data is stored in the largest available space. When a program needs memory, the system looks for the biggest free block of space and uses that. This approach aims to leave smaller gaps for smaller data, reducing waste. However, it can also create large unusable gaps over time. Worst Fit helps efficiently utilize large memory spaces but might lead to slower performance and fragmentation if not managed carefully.
