Types of Operating Systems Within the broad family of operating systems‚ there are generally four types‚ categorized based on the types of computers they control and the sort of applications they support. The categories are: * Real-time operating system (RTOS) - Real-time operating systems are used to control machinery‚ scientific instruments and industrial systems. An RTOS typically has very little user-interface capability‚ and no end-user utilities‚ since the system will be a "sealed box"

1. AIM: To write a C program to simulate the shortest job first algorithm with preemption. DESCRIPTION: For implementing SJF algorithm with preemption‚ we consider the arrival times of each process‚ the burst times of all the previously arrived processes. After the arrival of all the processes into the ready queue‚ the average waiting time and turn around time can be calculated by using the above algorithm. ALGORITHM: 1) start 2) read the no of processes to n 3) initialize i to 0 4) if
