algorithm? Assuming four frames, remember all frames are initially empty.
19. Given five memory partitions of 100KB, 500KB, 200KB, 300KB and 600KB (in
order), how would each of the first-fit, best-fit and worst-fit algorithms place processes
of 212KB, 417KB, 112KB and 426KB (in order)? Which algorithm makes the most
