What is operating system?
It requires specific instructions on how to perform each and
every task. Further, the instructions are to be converted in a language, which
a machine understands.
It means that the user cannot communicate with the computer directly.
Thus, you require an interface between the user and the hardware (all computer
resources). The operating system acts like interface. The computer interprets
the instructions given by the user with the help of an operating system. It is
the master program, which makes your pc alive and helps to run different
applications.
Operating system acts as a central coordinate coordinator between
hardware and software. Hardware provides a user with basics physical resources
to work upon. The application/utility software empowers the user to perform a
variety of functions on the computer like solving problems, creating documents,
playing games etc.
The operating system is classified into GUI and CUI, based on
the way it interacts with the users.
