Page table

A page table is like a dictionary for a computer's memory. Imagine you have a lot of books and you want to find a specific page in each one. Instead of flipping through every page in every book, you can use a dictionary that tells you which pages are in each book and where they are located.

Similarly, a page table tells a computer where different parts of a program are stored in memory. It keeps track of which pages of memory are being used by the program and where they are located. This way, the computer can quickly find the pieces of the program it needs without having to search through all of the memory.

Think of it like a map that shows you the layout of a computer's memory. Without a page table, the computer would have a harder time finding the pieces of a program it needs to run. But with a page table, it can quickly and easily locate the parts it needs.
