Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Static vs Dynamic Memory Allocation. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Explain how memory allocation works for static objects versus dynamic objects. When exactly is memory allocated, and how does the loader interact with RAM at runtime?
