Question

write the memory section for the running program that corresponds to each of the following memory addresses (the memory sections are: text, data, bss, stack, heap).

Answer 1

Text: This section contains the executable code of the program.

Data: This section contains initialized global and static variables.

BSS: This section contains uninitialized global and static variables. It is usually initialized to zero at program startup.

Stack: This section contains the function call stack, which is used to store local variables and function parameters. It grows downwards from a high memory address towards a lower one.

Heap: This section contains dynamically allocated memory, which is allocated and deallocated at runtime using functions such as malloc() and free(). It grows upwards from a low memory address towards a higher one.
