Answer / Neha Mishra
The buddy system is a method of memory allocation in an operating system where large blocks of free memory are divided into smaller, fixed-size 'buddy' blocks. Each buddy block has a buddy of nearly double its size. When a request for memory comes, the system searches for the smallest available buddy block that can satisfy the request and splits it if necessary. If the request is too large, the system combines smaller buddy blocks until it can find one large enough. This method minimizes fragmentation and improves overall memory utilization.
