What is OS?
Operating System is a software, which makes a computer to actually work. It is the software the enables all the programs we use. The OS organizes and controls the hardware. OS acts as an interface between the application programs and the machine hardware. Examples: Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS, etc.,

What OS does?
An operating system performs basic tasks such as, controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing system requests, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking and managing file systems.

OPERATING SYSTEM
An Operating System is a system software which may be viewed as an organized collection of software consisting of procedures for operating a computer and providing an environment for execution of programs.
No. 8
PURPOSE OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM

A computers Operating system is a group of programs designed to serve two basic purposes: To control the allocation and use of the computing systems resources among the various users and tasks. To provide an interface between the computer hardware and the programmer.

Structure of Operating System (Contd):

The structure of OS consists of 4 layers: 1. Hardware Hardware consists of CPU, Main memory, I/O Devices, etc, 2. Software (Operating System) Software includes process management routines, memory management routines, I/O control routines, file management routines.
(Contd)

Types of OS:
Operating System can also be classified as,-
Single User Systems Multi User Systems
No. 20
Single User Systems:

Provides a platform for only one user at a time. They are popularly associated with Desk Top operating system which run on standalone systems where no user accounts are required. Example: DOS
No. 21
Multi-User Systems:
Provides regulated access for a number of users by maintaining a database of known users. Refers to computer systems that support two or more simultaneous users. Another term for multi-user is time sharing.
Ex: All mainframes and are multi-user systems. Example: Unix
