Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using the reference string 7, 3, 0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 2, with 4 frames, calculate the number of page faults using both Optimal and LRU algorithms.

💡 Hint: Track which pages are in memory after each access.

Question 2

Create a scenario where an increase in frame number would lead to Belady's Anomaly. Describe it using a reference string.

💡 Hint: Think of common access patterns and how they interact with frame limits.
