what are the main
functions of an
operating styem?
- booting the computer: when you
turn the button on to turn the
computer on it sends a signal to get
everything everything working so
you can use the computer.
- provides a user interface:It
means in which a person
controls a software
applications or hardware
device.
- provides file management: A file
manager or file browser is a
computer program that provides a
user interface to manage files and
folders.
- performs basic computer
tasks: One of the tasks is to
boot up the computer and
another one is installing
programs and there are many
more.
- handles system resources: In
computer programming, a handle
is an abstract reference to a
resource.
- what would happen if a computer did not have an
operating system: You can still turn it on but it
would just be a black screen because there will be
no operating system to function everything in the
computer.
