1. Compare and contrast internal fragmentation and external fragmentation. Explain the circumstances where one might be preferred over the other.

Explanation:

Internal fragramentatoin is a form of fragmentation that occur when a process required extra or more space compared to the size of the memory block which is allotted and it is fixed . In order words it indicates that the process uses little space.

External fragmentation is a process that occur when the allotted memory size occur in different variable sizes.

Internal fragmentation is majorly used over external fragmentation when a process required more space than the allotted memory block size.

And external fragmentation is preferred over internal fragmentation when a process is detached or reduced from actual memory.
