This problem involves simulating the second chance page replacement algorithm with a page sequence of
0, 4, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4, 2, 4, 0, 4, 1, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4 using 3 frames. Here’s the step-by-step solution:
**Initialization:**
- Start with 3 empty frames.
**Page Faults:**
- A total of 13 page faults occurred.
**Second Chance Algorithm Overview:**
- This algorithm modifies FIFO by giving pages a "second chance" before eviction.
- It uses a reference bit for each page to indicate recent access.
- When replacing, it looks for pages with a reference bit of 0.
- If all reference bits are 1, it resets them to 0 and chooses the oldest page for replacement.
The LRU algorithm evicts the page that hasn't been used for the longest period. This is determined by
examining the R-bits (reference bits) of each page.
**R-bits Explanation:**
- R-bit = 1: Page was accessed recently.
- R-bit = 0: Page was not accessed recently.
