What is define allocated?

Allocated means assigning a specific amount of something to a particular purpose or person. In computer science and programming, allocated refers to the process of reserving a portion of memory or other resources for a program or process to use. This is typically done to enable efficient management of system resources and prevent conflicts with other running programs. Allocated memory or resources are typically identified by a unique address or identifier, which enables programs to access and manipulate them as needed. The opposite of allocated is unallocated, meaning that a resource has not been reserved or assigned to a specific use.
