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.
