Detailed explanation-1: -Memory management is the process of controlling and coordinating a computer’s main memory. It ensures that blocks of memory space are properly managed and allocated so the operating system (OS), applications and other running processes have the memory they need to carry out their operations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Memory management is the functionality of an operating system which handles or manages primary memory and moves processes back and forth between main memory and disk during execution.
