Unit 1

1. What is an operating system? Discuss the types of

operating systems based on their working ability in detail.

An operating system (OS) is software that manages

computer hardware and software resources and provides
services for computer programs. It acts as an intermediary
between users and the hardware.

Types of Operating Systems based on their working ability:

- Batch Operating System: Executes batches of jobs without
manual intervention. Jobs are processed in groups or batches.
- Time-Sharing OS: Multiple users share system resources
simultaneously by using the concept of time slices.
- Distributed OS: Multiple computers work together as a
single system, sharing resources.
- Real-time OS: Systems where time constraints are crucial,
often used in embedded systems and real-time applications.
- Network OS: Allows computers to communicate and share
resources over a network.
- Mobile OS: Designed for smartphones and tablets, like
Android or iOS.

2. Explain components of computer networks. Write a

detailed note on the OSI Model. Support your answer with a
diagram.

Components of Computer Networks:

- Hardware Components: Routers, switches, modems, and
cables.
- Software Components: Protocols (TCP/IP), network
operating systems.
 - Communication Media: Wired (Ethernet, coaxial) or
wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).

OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model):

It is a conceptual framework used to understand and
implement network communication. It has 7 layers:
1. Physical Layer: Handles the physical connection between
devices.
2. Data Link Layer: Deals with data transfer between
neighboring network nodes.
3. Network Layer: Manages packet routing across networks.
4. Transport Layer: Ensures error-free data transmission.
5. Session Layer: Manages sessions between applications.
6. Presentation Layer: Translates data between the
application and the network.
7. Application Layer: Provides services to the user.

3. What is system software? Discuss compiler and interpreter.

System software refers to the software designed to manage

the hardware and provide a platform for running application
software. Examples include the operating system, device
drivers, and utilities.
 Compiler: A program that translates high-level language
code into machine code in one go before execution.

Interpreter: Translates high-level language code into

machine code line by line, executing each line immediately.

4. Write short notes on:

1. Output and input devices:
- Input devices: Allow users to interact with the computer,
e.g., keyboard, mouse.
- Output devices: Show the results of the computer's
processes, e.g., monitor, printer.

2. Internet, Intranet, and Extranet:

- Internet: A global network connecting millions of
private, public, academic, business, and government
networks.
- Intranet: A private network accessible only within an
organization.
- Extranet: A controlled private network allowing access
to partners, vendors, and suppliers.
 3. WWW (World Wide Web): A system of interlinked
hypertext documents and resources that are accessed via the
internet.

4. Loader and Linker:

- Loader: Loads programs into memory for execution.
- Linker: Combines object files into a single executable
file.

5. Explain the functions of Operating Systems.

- Process Management: Manages the execution of multiple

processes.
- Memory Management: Allocates and deallocates memory
spaces as needed.
- File System Management: Manages files and directories.
- Device Management: Controls device communication via
drivers.
- Security: Protects data from unauthorized access.
- User Interface: Provides command-line or graphical
interfaces for interaction.

6. Explain the different types of memory in computers.

 - Primary Memory (RAM and ROM): Fast, volatile memory
used by the processor to store data that is actively being
worked on.
- Secondary Memory (Hard drives, SSDs): Non-volatile
memory for long-term data storage.
- Cache Memory: A small amount of fast memory close to
the CPU for storing frequently accessed data.

7. Difference between:
1. Compiler and Interpreter: A compiler translates the whole
program at once, while an interpreter translates line by line.
2. Primary and Secondary Memory: Primary memory
(RAM) is volatile and faster, while secondary memory (hard
drives) is non-volatile and slower.
