182How is the following service called? The Operating System provides a variety of facilities and services, such as editors and debuggers, to assist the programmer in creating programs…
- Ao Program execution
- Bo Access to I/O devices
- Co Program creation
183How is the following service called? A number of tasks need to be performed to execute a program. Instructions and data must be loaded into main memory, I/O devices and files must be initialized, and other resources must be prepared. The Operating System handles all of this for the user.
- Ao Program creation
- Bo Access to I/O devices
- Co Program execution
184How is the following service called? Each I/O device requires its own specific set of instructions or control signals for operation. The Operating System takes care of the details so that the programmer can think in terms of simple reads and writes.
