2a- Types of Processing
  1. Batch
    1. All processing done at once when servers aren't as busy.
      1. Don't usually need user interface
        1. Necessary data already input into the system before processing
          1. Uses a template (master file) where data is put on (transition file) to have a set format for entering data into or out of the system.
            1. X - Set processing time means delayed response and can lead to long wait for output.
              1. E.g. Processing monthly bills by a company
              2. Interactive
                1. User communicates and works with computer by inputting data and getting an output.
                  1. Computer responds as fast as it can process
                    1. Data stored in RAM during processing
                      1. Usually uses graphical user interface (GUI)
                        1. e.g. Database Query
                        2. Real Time
                          1. Data is processed immediately using data matching the real world.
                            1. Batch or interactive
                              1. Very quick processing
                                1. Interface may vary depending on user requirement
                                  1. e.g. Central heating system heats or cools immediately based on temperature of room
                                    1. e.g. Plane ticket booking system immediately updates when ticket is sold.
