Program for Worst Fit algorithm in Memory Management (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 13 Sep, 2023
Prerequisite : Partition allocation methods
Worst Fit allocates a process to the partition which is largest sufficient among the freely available partitions available in the main memory. If a large process comes at a later stage, then memory will not have space to accommodate it.
Example:
Input : blockSize[] = {100, 500, 200, 300, 600}; processSize[] = {212, 417, 112, 426}; Output: Process No. Process Size Block no. 1 212 5 2 417 2 3 112 5 4 426 Not Allocated

Implementation: 1- Input memory blocks and processes with sizes. 2- Initialize all memory blocks as free. 3- Start by picking each process and find the maximum block size that can be assigned to current process i.e., find max(bockSize[1], blockSize[2],.....blockSize[n]) > processSize[current], if found then assign it to the current process. 5- If not then leave that process and keep checking the further processes.
Below is implementation of above steps.
