    An operating system acts as an intermediary between the user and computer hardware, executing programs and making the computer system convenient to use while efficiently utilizing hardware. It controls and coordinates shared use of the CPU, memory, and I/O devices among multiple applications and users. A computer system consists of hardware providing basic resources, the operating system managing access to those resources, application programs that solve users' computing problems, and the users themselves.

    What is an operating system?, Simple Batch Systems, Multiprogramming Batched Systems, Time-
    Sharing Systems, Personal-Computer Systems , Parallel Systems, Distributed Systems, Real -Time
    Systems

    A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and


    the computer hardware. (WHAT IS OS?)

    Operating system goals:

    Execute user programs and make solving user problems easier.

    Make the computer system convenient to use.

    Use the computer hardware in an efficient manner

    Computer System Components

    1. Hardware provides basic computing resources (CPU, memory, I/O devices).

    2. Operating system controls and coordinates the use of the hardware among
    the various application programs for the various users.

    3. Applications programs define the ways in which the system resources are
    used to solve the computing problems of the users (compilers, database systems,
    video games, business programs).

    4. Users (people, machines, other computers).
