  1. Plot the output in an Excel graph. Explain your findings. Adjust your inputs to get meaningful outputs.

//Write a program that simulates a paging system using the aging algorithm. The number of page
//frames is a parameter. The sequence of page references should be read from a file.
//For a given input file, plot the number of page faults per 1000 memory references as a function of
//the number of page frames available.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

//THE PAGE FREQUENCY PER 1000 MEMORY REFERENCE DATA IS STORED IN A SEPARATE FILE CALLED DATA.TXT.
//DATA POINTS CAN BE USED TO PLOT THE GRAPH
