Homonym: partitions (Divisions)
A partition is a way to divide something into separate parts or sections. In mathematics, for example, a partition of a number is a way of writing it as a sum of positive integers. Each unique combination of these integers represents a different partition.
In computer science, partitions can refer to dividing a hard drive into sections, allowing for better organization and management of data. Each section, or partition, can hold different operating systems or file systems, making it easier to manage storage and improve performance.
