    - The address generated by the CPU is referred to as logical address and the address where the program is loaded into the primary memory is known as the physical memory.

    - These addresses are generated by compile-time and load-time binding are identical.

    - The execution time addresses binding scheme results differ in the addresses.

    - The logical address is referred to as virtual address.

    - Hence, in the execution phase the address space differ.
