💻 RAM and Secondary Storage Simulation Project

A detailed simulation of how RAM and secondary storage interact, focusing on page replacement algorithms, memory management techniques, and swapping mechanisms.

---

🌟 Features

• 🔄 Page Replacement Algorithms: Implements FIFO, LRU, and other strategies to manage memory allocation between RAM and secondary storage.
• 📊 RAM and Storage Simulation: Models the dynamic interaction between RAM and secondary storage, including page faults, swapping, and more.
• 📈 Statistics Tracking: Monitors page fault rates, hit/miss ratios, memory utilization, and provides detailed reports.
• 🛠 Swapping Mechanism: Simulates the swapping of memory pages between RAM and disk storage, optimizing memory usage.
• ⚙️ Modular Design: Well-organized and extensible codebase, with clear separation of concerns between different components like paging, swapping, and statistical analysis.
