Explain what you mean by memory alignment...

Answer / Sandhya Tripathi

"Memory alignment" refers to arranging data in a way that each variable or object is located at a memory address which is a multiple of its own size. This helps in achieving better cache performance as it allows the processor to access the required data more efficiently without crossing over different cache lines.
