The document outlines an experiment to calculate external and internal fragmentation in memory allocation. It includes a C program that prompts the user for memory block sizes and process sizes, then implements a First Fit Allocation strategy to determine fragmentation. The program outputs the total internal and external fragmentation values after processing the inputs.
