First Fit

0.03 sec.

(algorithm)

First Fit - A resource allocation scheme (usually for memory). First Fit fits data into memory by scanning from the beginning of available memory to the end, until the first free space which is at least big enough to accept the data is found. This space is then allocated to the data. Any left over becomes a smaller, separate free space.

If the data to be allocated is bigger than the biggest free space, the request cannot be met, and an error is generated.

Compare Best Fit.

Best Fit

Ferrars is a very headstrong proud woman, and in her first fit of anger upon hearing it, would very likely secure every thing to Robert, and the idea of that, for Edward's sake, frightens away all my inclination for hasty measures.

Sense and Sensibility by Austen, Jane View in context

Therefore, when his first fit of anger had passed away, having remarked a barred window through which there passed a stream of light, lozenge-shaped, which must be, he knew, the bright orb of approaching day, Louis began to call out, at first gently enough, then louder and louder still; but no one replied.

The Man in the Iron Mask by Dumas, Alexandre View in context
