partisi

Partisi is a term used in Indonesian and Malay to denote partition or a dividing line. In everyday language it can refer to a physical divider, a logical division in computing, or a mathematical partition of an integer. The word is derived from the Latin partitionem and is cognate with similar terms in many languages.

In architecture and interior design, a partisi refers to a physical partition or screen that creates separate spaces within a larger area. Partitions can be made from materials such as drywall, glass, wood, or metal, and are used to control light, sound, and privacy without removing structural elements. They can be permanent or movable, and vary in form from solid walls to translucent panels or freestanding screens.

In computing, a partisi is a disk partition—the division of a physical storage device into multiple, independent sections. Each partition can be formatted with a file system and used as a separate volume. Common concepts include partition tables (MBR or GPT), primary and extended partitions, and logical drives. Partitions enable separate operating systems, dedicated data stores, and easier disk management, including resizing and mounting.

In mathematics, a partisi (partition) of a positive integer n is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers, disregarding order. For example, the partitions of 5 are: 5; 4+1; 3+2; 3+1+1; 2+2+1; 2+1+1+1; 1+1+1+1+1. The study of partitions leads to functions such as p(n), which counts the number of distinct partitions of n, and to combinatorial representations like Ferrers diagrams.
