Implement a simulation to compare four memory allocation techniques (first fit, next fit, best fit, worst fit) using a linked list to track memory usage in a 256 KB memory space divided into units. Your simulation needs three components: 1. **Memory component** - implements the allocation technique with functions: - `allocate_mem(process_id, num_units)`: Returns traversal count or -1 - `deallocate_mem(process_id)`: Returns 1 or -1 - `fragment_count()`: Returns fragment count 2. **Request generator** - creates random allocation requests (3-10 units) and deallocation requests 3. **Statistics reporter** - tracks and reports: - Average external fragments - Average allocation time (nodes traversed) - Percentage of denied allocation requests Generate 10,000 requests, process them through each allocation technique, update statistics after each request, and report final performance metrics.
