Explain
Operating System. Refers to a system that controls various
resources of a computer. Resources include files on the hard disk, CPU usage, display output, mouse and keyboard input and so on. An
application requests the OS a permission to use such resources. Sometimes, the same resource is used by multiple applications. In such cases, the operating systems coordinate the usage of the resources such that no data is lost in the process.
