What is Partitioning? In simple words, we can explain Partitioning as the process of dividing something into sections or parts, with the motive of making it easily understandable and manageable. In our everyday routine also, we use this concept to ease out our tasks and save time. But we do it so abruptly that we hardly notice how we did it. Let's see an example and get familiar with the concept. Suppose we have a deck of cards and need to fetch "Jack of Spades" from the deck of cards. So now there are two ways in which we can accomplish this task. We can start turning over every card one by one, starting from the top/bottom until we reach our card. We group the deck according to suit, i.e. clubs, hearts, spades, diamonds. Now, as soon we hear "Spades", we know which group to look for, thus dividing our work 1/4 times. This grouping of our data according to some specific category reduced our work and saved energy, time and effort. Defining in Technical Term
