#include "alloc.h"

#define MAXROW 3

#define MAXcol 4

main()

{

        int *p, i, J;

        p = (int *) malloc (MAXROW * MAXCOL * sizeof (int));

         for ( i=0; i < MaxROW ; i++)

         {

                for (j=0; j < MAXCOL ; j++)

                { 

                      p [ i * MAXCOL + j] = i;

                       printf ( "%d", p [i * MAXCOL + j] );

                 }

                  printf ("\n");

          }

Placement algorithms determine where in available real-memory to load a program. Common methods are first-fit, next-fit, best-fit. Replacement algorithms are used when memory is full, and one process (or part of a process) needs to be swapped out to accommodate a new program. The replacement algorithm determines which are the partitions to be swapped out.

Steel is not a compound or element. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon and other elements and hence it is a mixture. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, it is a major component used in buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, appliances, and weapons.
