How is RAM allocated?

Question

This is a question about an informatics noob: how is a ram distributed?

For example, I use Windows. Can I find out which addresses are used by the program? How does Windows allocate memory? Adjacent or not touching? Is it the same on Linux?

And, can I access the entire bar using the program? (I do not believe it, but ...)

Do you know good lectures / documentation on this?

First, when you think that you are allocating RAM, you really do not. This is confusing, I know, but it really is not difficult as soon as you understand how it works. Keep reading.
