Detailed explanation-1: -A Segment Table is used to store the information of all segments of the currently executing process. The swapping of the segments of the process results in the breaking of the free memory space into small pieces. This breaking of free space into pieces is called External Fragmentation.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Stack − This segment contains data values passed to functions and procedures within the program.
