allocating memory in chunks
Allocating memory in chunks refers to the process of reserving a specific amount of memory space in a computer's memory for storing data. Instead of individually allocating memory for each data item, allocating memory in chunks allows for the efficient allocation of a fixed size block of memory that can be used to store multiple data items. This approach reduces memory fragmentation and improves performance by managing memory allocation in a more organized manner.
