👉 In the context of computer science, syphoning is a process where one program's memory can be used to store data from another program. This is often done for performance reasons or to avoid fragmentation of the program's memory. For example, suppose we have two programs A and B that both need to access the same set of data. If we were to use syphoning, each program would only need to allocate a single copy of its own data, rather than using multiple copies to store it
