Detailed explanation-1: -Segmentation is a memory management technique which divides the program from the user’s view of memory. That means the program is divided into modules/segments, unlike paging in which the program was divided into different pages, and those pages may or may not be loaded into the memory simultaneously.
Detailed explanation-2: -In real mode or V86 mode, the size of a segment can range from 1 byte up to 65, 536 bytes (using 16-bit offsets).
Detailed explanation-3: -Segmentation is another memory management technique used by operating systems. The process is divided into segments of different sizes and then put in the main memory. The program/process is divided into modules, unlike paging, in which the process was divided into fixed-size pages or frames.
