b) Explain the process management algorithms in Operating System.
Ans: Process management is function that includes creating and deleting processes (program) and
sa
providing mechanisms for processes to communicate and synchronize with each other.
Example: a system task of sending output to a printer.
Process management algorithms:
da
The following algorithms are mainly used to allocate the job (process) to the processor.
i. FIFO ii. SJF iii. Round Robin iv. Based on Priority
i. FIFO (First In First Out) Scheduling: This algorithm is based on queuing technique.
Technically, the process that enters the queue first is executed first by the CPU, followed by the
Pa

next and so on. The processes are executed in the order of the queue.
ii. SJF (Shortest Job First) Scheduling: This algorithm works based on the size of the job begin
executed by the CPU.
w.

Example: Suppose, Job A = 6 KB and Job B = 9 KB, then

First the job “A” will be assigned and then job “B” will get its turn.
iii. Round Robin Scheduling: The Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm is designed especially
ww

for time sharing systems. Jobs (processes) are assigned and processor time in a circular method.
Example: Suppose there are three jobs A, B, C. First the job A is assigned to CPU then job B
and job C and then again A, B and C and so on.
iv. Based on Priority: The given job (process) is assigned based on a priority. The job which has
higher priority is more important than other jobs.
Example: Suppose there are two jobs,
Job A Priority = 5
Job B Priority = 7, then
Job B is assigned to the processor before job A.

 www.Padasalai.Net www.TrbTnpsc.com

ii. Relational Operators: - Relational operators are used to determine the relationship between its
operands. When the relational operators are applied on two operands, the
result will be a Boolean value i.e., 1 or 0 to represents True or False
respectively. C++ provides 6 relational operators.
Example:
Operator Operation Example
< Less than 12 < 4 is FALSE
<= Less than or equal to 12 < = is TRUE
> Greater than 12 > 4 is TRUE
>= Greater than or equal to 12 > = 12 is TRUE
== Equal to 12 = = 4 is FALSE

et
!= Not equal to 12 ! = 4 is TRUE

i.N
iii. Logical operators: A logical operator is used to evaluate logical and relational expressions. The
logical act upon the operands that are themselves called as logical expressions.
C++ provides 3 logical operators.
Example:

la
Operator Operation Description Example
&& AND
sa
The logical AND combines two
different relational expressions into one.
(80 > 35) && (70 > 35)
will return TRUE
Both expressions are TRUE returns
TRUE, otherwise returns FALSE
da
|| OR The logical OR combines two different (80 > 35) || (70 > 35) will
relational expressions in to one. Any one return TRUE
expressions is TRUE returns TRUE
otherwise returns FALSE.
Pa

! NOT NOT works on a single expression / ! (80 > 35) will return
operand. Expression is TRUE returns FALSE
FALSE. Expression is FALSE returns
TRUE
w.

iv. Assignment Operator: Assignment operator is used to assign a value to a variable which is on the
left hand side of an assignment statement. = (equal to) is commonly used
ww

as the assignment operator in all computer programming languages. This

operator copies the value at the right side of the operator to the left side
variable. It is also a binary operator.
Example:
Operator Name of the Operator Example
= Assignment a = 5;
b = a + 2; // b will be 7
+= Addition assignment a = 5;
a+ = 2; // a will be 7
-= Subtraction assignment a = 5;
a- = 2; // a will be 3
*= Multiplication assignment a = 5;
a * = 2; // a will be 10

/= Division assignment a = 6;
a / = 2; // a will be 3
%= Modulus assignment a = 5;
a % = 2; // a will be 1
v. Conditional Operator ( Ternary Operator): In C++, there is only one conditional operator. ? : is a
conditional operator which is also known as Ternary
operator. This operator is used as an alternate to
if. . . else control statement.
