Difference between paging and segmentation:-
Paging and segmentation are closed relative to each other but they have following difference.
1. Paging divides the virtual memory in physical memory areas while the segmentation divides it logically.
2. Paging divides the memory in fixed length memory areas while segmentation divides into variable length memory areas.
3. In segmentation a full logical portion of the process in loaded, but in paging information about page is loaded.
4. The segments are large length as compare to page.
5. In segmentation memory is divided into segments through software and in paging the memory in divided through hardware.
