Sequential File Allocation in Operating Systems

Sequential File Allocation is a method where the file is divided into smaller chunks and these chunks are then allocated memory blocks in the main memory.

The process involves gathering information about the number of files, memory requirement of each file, sequential allocation of memory, checking for free locations, setting flags if location is allocated, and printing file number, length, and allocated block.

The smaller file chunks are stored one after another in a contiguous manner.
