What is a contiguous memory block?

Question

Just like in the title, what is a contiguous memory block?

Answer 1

Memory consists of a large number of blocks of bytes. Each block has its own address. When a process requests for memory, memory is allocated in two ways:

1. Contiguous Memory Allocation
2. Non-Contiguous Memory Allocation

In contiguous memory allocation, consecutive (one after Another) blocks are assigned which are called contiguous Memory blocks.
In non-contiguous memory allocation, separate blocks present at different locations are assigned.
