Question 1

What does the principle of locality of reference state?

  • Programs access memory in a random manner.
  • Programs tend to access data and instructions in clusters.
  • Programs always access data sequentially.

💡 Hint: Think about how loops and repeated instructions work.

Question 2

True or False: Temporal locality means recently accessed items are unlikely to be accessed again soon.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how loops reuse the same data.
