 Types of Operating System Batch Operating system Time sharing Operating system Distributed Operating system Network Operating system Real Time Operating system Multi programming/Processing/Tasking Operating system Mobile Operating System Batch Operating System               In a Batch operating system the similar jobs are grouped together into batches with the help of some operators and these batches are executed one by one. For example, suppose we have ten programs, some are written in c++ programming language, Some are written in c programming language and the rest are written java programming language. Now, every time we run these programs one by one, we have to load the compiler of that particular language and then run the code. But if we do a batch of these ten programs, The advantage with this approach is that for the c++ batch, you only need to load the compiler once. Similarly, for Java and C , the compiler only needs to load once an...

 Operating System is an interface between the user and the hardware and enables the interaction of a computer's hardware and software.          Also, an operating system is software that performs all the basic functions of file management, storage management, process management, managing input and output, and controlling peripherals such as disk, drivers and printers. Functions of Operating System Device Management  File Management Memory Management Process Management Mastermind Storage Management Handling input/output operations Security Functions of Operating System Device Management          Operating system manages device communication via their respective drivers. It does the following activities for device management: Keeps tracks of all devices, input/output controller is responsible for this task. Decides which process gets the device when and for how much time Allocates the device in an efficient way. De-allocates dev...
