Role of operating system
An operating system (OS) is the
program that, after being initially loaded
into the computer by a boot program,
manages all of the other application
programs in a computer. The application
programs make use of the operating
system by making requests for services
through a defined application program
interface (API).
 Difference between GUI and API
 GUI, stands for Graphical
User Interface, a software
platform that presents the
back-end data in a visually
coherent way to users. ...
API stands for Application
Program Interface, which
has a set of routines and
protocols that let your
machines talk directly to
other machines.
