What is OS?
OS stands for Operating System. An operating system is software that manages computer hardware and provides services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary between the hardware of a computer system and the applications software running on it
Why we need OS?
An Operating System (OS) is essential because it manages computer hardware resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and peripherals efficiently, providing a layer of abstraction that shields application developers from hardware complexities. It offers a user-friendly interface for interacting with the system, manages processes, schedules tasks, and allocates memory to ensure optimal performance. The OS also handles file system management, facilitating data storage and retrieval, and manages device communication and security protocols, protecting against unauthorized access and threats. Overall, the OS is foundational, enabling computers to run applications, support user interactions, and operate seamlessly across diverse hardware platforms, essential for modern computing and device functionality.
