‘An operating system (sometimes abbreviated as "OS’) is a program that, after being
initially loaded into the computer with boot program, manages all the other programs
ina computer: The other programs are called application programs. The application
programs make use of the operating system by making requests for services through
a defined Application Program Interface usually called as API.
‘An Operating System is a software program or set of programs that mediate access
between physical devices such as, a keyboard, mouse, monitor, disk drive or network
connection and application programs such as, a word processor, World Wide Web
browser or Electronic mail client
It is a program that controls the execution of application programs and acts as an
interface between applications and the computer hardware. It is a program designed
torun other programs on system,
Operating systems are responsible for everything from the control and allocation of
memory to recognizing input from external devices and transmitting output to
computer displays. They also manage files on computer hard drives and control
peripherals, like printers and scanners.
Its job includes preventing unauthorized users from accessing the computer system.
‘Asa part of this process, the operating system manages the resources of the compu
ter in an attempt to meet overall system goals such as efficiency and throughput. The
details of this resource management can be quite complicated; however, the
operating system usually hides such complexities from the user.
