What is a memory segment?

A memory segment refers to a specific portion of the computer's memory that is allocated for a particular purpose or function. It is a contiguous block of memory addresses that can be accessed and manipulated by the processor. Memory segments are used to store different types of data, such as code instructions, data variables, stack, and heap. Each segment has a specific size and address range, and it is managed by the operating system or the assembly language program.
