 AN INTRODUCTION TO OPERATING SYSTEMS  ? What is operating system ?

There are two type of software Application software and System software 

Application software performs specific task for the user.

System software operates and controls the computer system and provides a platform to run

application software.

what is operating system


what is an operating system -

An operating system is a piece of software that manages all the resources of a computer

system,both hardware and software, and provides an environment in which the user can

execute his/her programs in a convenient and efficient manner by hiding underlying

the complexity of the hardware and acting as a resource manager.


Why OS Needed in computers? 

1. What if there is no OS? 

a. Bulky  and  complex  app.  (Hardware  interaction  code  must be  in  app’s code base) 

b. Resource exploitation by 1 App. 

c. No memory protection. 

2. What is an OS made up of? 

a. Collection of system software. 



The function of Operating system - 


- Access to the computer hardware. 

- interface between the user and the computer hardware 

- Resource management (Aka, Arbitration) (memory, device, file, security, process etc) - Hides the underlying complexity of the hardware. (Aka, Abstraction) - facilitates execution of application programs by providing isolation and protection.

Computer hardware

 The operating system provides the means for proper use of the resources in the operation of the computer system.

 Codeforces rating system | Codeforces rating Newbie to Legendary Grandmaster- Codeforces is one of the most popular platforms for competitive programmers and  codeforces rating matters a lot  .  Competitive Programming  teaches you to find the easiest solution in the quickest possible way. CP enhances your problem-solving and debugging skills giving you real-time fun. It's brain-sport. As you start solving harder and harder problems in live-contests your analytical and rational thinking intensifies. To have a good codeforces profile makes a good impression on the interviewer. If you have a good  codeforces profile so it is very easy to get a referral for product base company like amazon, google , facebook etc.So in this blog I have explained everything about codeforces rating system. What are different titles on codeforces- based on rating codeforces divide rating into 10 part. Newbie Pupil Specialist Expert Candidate Codemaster Master International Master Grandmaster Internat

Apple Division CSES Problem Set Solution | CSES Problem Set Solution Apple division with code

 Apple Division CSES Problem Set Solution | CSES Problem Set Solution Apple division with code - Apple Division CSES Problem Solution Easy Explanation. Apple division is problem is taken form cses introductory problem set.Let's Read Problem statement first. Problem Statement- Time limit:  1.00 s   Memory limit:  512 MB There are  n n  apples with known weights. Your task is to divide the apples into two groups so that the difference between the weights of the groups is minimal. Input The first input line has an integer  n n : the number of apples. The next line has  n n  integers  p 1 , p 2 , … , p n p 1 , p 2 , … , p n : the weight of each apple. Output Print one integer: the minimum difference between the weights of the groups. Constraints 1 ≤ n ≤ 20 1 ≤ n ≤ 20 1 ≤ p i ≤ 10 9 1 ≤ p i ≤ 10 9 Example Input: 5 3 2 7 4 1 Output: 1 Explanation: Group 1 has weights 2, 3 and 4 (total weight 9), and group 2 has weights 1 and 7 (total weight 8).

Movie Festival CSES problem set solution

 Movie Festival CSES problem set solution - Problem statement-  Time limit:  1.00 s   Memory limit:  512 MB In a movie festival  n n  movies will be shown. You know the starting and ending time of each movie. What is the maximum number of movies you can watch entirely? Input The first input line has an integer  n n : the number of movies. After this, there are  n n  lines that describe the movies. Each line has two integers  a a  and  b b : the starting and ending times of a movie. Output Print one integer: the maximum number of movies. Constraints 1 ≤ n ≤ 2 ⋅ 10 5 1 ≤ n ≤ 2 ⋅ 10 5 1 ≤ a < b ≤ 10 9 1 ≤ a < b ≤ 10 9 Example Input: 3 3 5 4 9 5 8 Output: 2 Solution - Step -1 take input in a vector as a pair first element is ending time ans second element is starting time Step -2 sort the vector in increasing order because we will watch that movie which is ending first. Step -3 iterate over vector and calculate ans .           follow code below-
