Hi, I have the following questions about Project 2. 1. Based on the response in the post below stating that a process can only be loaded into RAM once, does this mean that after the fourth page (with page number = 3) of a process has been loaded into RAM, no more pages of the process can be loaded into RAM again (i.e. any further appearances of the process in in.txt will be ignored once the fourth page of the process has been loaded into RAM)? [help2002] 2. I have seen that a response in a previous post states that we are simply "moving" pointers in and out of RAM. But in my solution, before any pages are loaded, I initialise the RAM by filling it with struct pointers such that the fields (process_id, page_num, last_accessed) are all set to -1. After this, I don't "move" any pointers in and out of RAM when I load a new page as I just update the fields of the structs in the appropriate RAM array locations. Is what I am doing acceptable? Thank you
