about the operating system(os)

the operating system is one of the core and important subjects in computer science and it interview point of view it is an important subject and we can expect a maximum of 5 to 6 questions from this subject.

as computer science students, we should have to know about memory management, memory allocation, Deadlock avoidance, critical section, partition, etc these are some important topics for the interviews.

as we know that os is an important part of the system and it allows you to communicate with the computer system.

An operating system is the most essential program that allows a computer to run and execute programs. Without an operating system, a computer cannot be of any important use since the computer's hardware won't be able to communicate with the software.
