partitioning (operatimg system ).

 WHAT IS PARTITIONING ?


Certain operating system use partitioned memory management to allow multiprogramming .

• Partitioning means dividing main memory into various sections.

 • These section are called as partitions.

 • There are two types of partitions:

1) fixed partition .    2) variable partition.


  Fixed partition  .

 • In this method partitions are fixed at the time of system generation . At this time , system manager has to declear partition time.

 • Fixed partition are also called static partition . On declearing fixed partition , the operating system create partition description table.

 • It reduces the uses the CPU utiliisation .

 • It reduces the degree of multiprogramming. .


   variable partition .

    In variable partition number of partition and their size are variable 

• They are not defined at the time of system generation .

 • These partition are created by operating systems at run time they differ in size. 

• The procedure to be followed for memory allocation is nearly same as that in case of fixed partition .

  Object oriented programming • Object oriented programming is an approach that provides a way of modularizing programs by creating partitioned memory area for both data and function that can be used as templates for creating copies of such modules on demand . • In object oriented programming the program is designed around the data being operated upon rather than upon the operation themselves. • OOP allows to decompose a problem into a number of entities called object and then build data and function around these entity. • When program is executed the object interact by sending message to one another • Each object contains data and code to manipulate the data . Features of OOP : • Program are divided into number of object. • Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external function • Object may communicate with each other through function • New data and function can be easily added wherever required. Object : • Object are the basic runtime entity in object oriented sy...
