ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Relocation (computing)

Imagine you have a toy box (a computer's memory). The toys inside (programs and data) are lined up in a specific order so you can find them easily. But what if you decided to move to a new house (a different memory location)? You can’t just pick up the toy box and move it; you have to take the toys out, put them in a new box, and make sure they are in the same order again so you can find them easily. This is essentially what relocation in computing means - moving programs and data from one memory location to another while making sure everything still works smoothly. It requires carefully rearranging the information to make sure it’s still accessible and usable to the computer.
