SWAP Partition :

must be create at the time on linux installation.
Whenever RAM is FULL that time space will be taken from SWAP
partition which is available in HDD parmantelly.

Swap file can be created after the installation any time.
Swap files are normally slower than SWAP partition.
This we can set as temporary purpose. For quick access the
file or data can create SWAP files.
