Discuss in detail about the various functions of Operating System.
Answers
Answer:
An operating system has three main functions:
(1) manage the computer's resources, such as the central processing unit, memory, disk drives, and printers
, (2) establish a user interface, and
(3) execute and provide services for applications software. ... Thus you both establish a user interface and execute software.
Answer:
An Operating System acts as a communication bridge (interface) between the user and computer hardware. The purpose of an operating system is to provide a platform on which a user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner.
An operating system is a piece of software that manages the allocation of computer hardware. The coordination of the hardware must be appropriate to ensure the correct working of the computer system and to prevent user programs from interfering with the proper working of the system.
Example: Just like a boss gives order to his employee, in the similar way we request or pass our orders to the Operating System. The main goal of the Operating System is to thus make the computer environment more convenient to use and the secondary goal is to use the resources in the most efficient manner.
