The operating system (OS) manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for programs. It provides a user interface, runs applications, supports built-in utilities, and controls hardware. Major OS functions include resource management, data management, job management, and user interface. Types of OS include single user single tasking, single user multi-tasking, and multi-user multi-tasking. Examples of OS are DOS, Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. The OS acts as an intermediary between hardware and software and should be reliable, easy to use, and coordinate input/output operations. Problems with the OS could result in data loss or unauthorized access.

User Interface

• A program that controls a display for the user (usually on


a computer monitor) and that allows the user to interact
with the system) .
• The user interface allows the user to communicate with the
operating system.

The user interface provides means of:


– Input - allowing the users
to manipulate a
system
– Output - allowing the system
to indicate the effects
of the users' manipulation.
1. COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

2. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE


• Is a type of user interface which allows people to
interact with computer with images rather than text
commands.
• Accept input via keyboard and pointing devices.
Command Line Interface (CLI)

Examples of command:

Command Description
DIR To display list of files or folder

COPY To copy file or folder

Elements of Graphical User Interface

• Pointer
• Icons
• Desktop
• Windows
• Menus
Pointer
• A symbol that appears on the
display screen and that you
move to select objects and
commands.
• Usually, the pointer appears as
a small angled arrow.
Icons
• Small pictures that
represent commands, files,
or windows.
Desktop
• The area on the display
screen where icons are
grouped is often referred to
as the desktop because the
icons are intended to
represent real objects on a
real desktop.
Windows
• Used to divide the screen into different areas.
• In each window, you can run a different program or
display a different file.
• Menus Two types of menu:
• Most graphical user – Pull-down menu
interfaces let you execute – Pop-up men
commands by selecting a
choice from a menu.
Single user, Single Task
Single user, Multi- tasking
Multi user, Multi- tasking
This type of operating system only has to
deal with one person at a time, running one
user application at a time.\
An example of a this kind of operating
system would be found on a mobile phone.
There can only be one user using the mobile
and that person is only using one of its
applications at a time.
Single User Multi-tasking
Single user multi-tasking os allows user to perform one or
more than one task at same time
Commonly os are
MS windows
Apples macintosh
Microsoft Windows:
Windows is a series of operating systems
developed by Microsoft. Each version of Windows
includes a graphical user interface, with a desktop
that allows users to view files and folders in
windows. For the past two decades, Windows has
been the most widely used operating system for
personal computers PCs.
MacOS X:
OS X is version 10 of the Apple Macintosh
operating system. OS X was described by
Apple as its first “complete revision” of the
OS since the previous version is OS 9, with a
focus on modularity so that future changes
would be easier to incorporate.

EXAMPLES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS

DOS– DOS (Disk Operating


System) was the first
widely-installed operating
system for personal
computers. It is a master
control program that is
automatically run when
you start your PC.
EXAMPLES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS
Mac OS X– The Macintosh
(often called "the Mac"),
introduced in 1984 by Apple
Computer, was the first
widely-sold personal
computer with a graphical
user interface (GUI). The Mac
was designed to provide
users with a natural,
intuitively understandable,
and, in general, "user-
friendly" computer interface.
EXAMPLES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS
LINUX– Linux (or GNU/Linux) is a
Unix-like operating system that
was developed without any
actual Unix code, unlike BSD and
its variants. Linux can be used
on a wide range of devices from
supercomputers to
wristwatches. The Linux kernel is
released under an open source
license, so anyone can read and
modify its code. It has been
modified to run on a large
variety of electronics..
EXAMPLES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS
Microsoft Windows– Windows is a
personal computer operating
system from Microsoft that,
together with some commonly used
business applications such as
Microsoft Word and Excel, has
become a de facto "standard" for
individual users in most
corporations as well as in most
homes. Windows contains built-in
networking, which allows users to
share files and applications with
each other if their PCs are
connected to a network.
Reliable.
Operational at all times.
Should coordinate and have
good control of input and
output operations and the
devices on which they are
performed.
Computers
Mobile phones
3d televisions
Video game
ATM
Easy to use
User friendly
Intermediate between all
hardware's and software's of the
system
No need to know any technical
languages
Its the platform of all programs
If any problems affected in OS,
you may lose all the contents
which have been stored already
Unwanted user can use your own
system
