Operating system is a grouped of program that controls all the operation of computer system and its components. Operating system is software that is installed on computer hard drive that enables the computer hardware to communicate and operate the all part of computer. A computer can do nothing without operating system. Operating system must be installed on every computer. 

Operating system on computer like soul in human body, without soul a human body is useless as same without Operating system a computer is useless. Operating system is most important for every computer system to do a best function.

When computer turned on a operating system check all part of computer system are functional properly. Operating system manages all operation on computer after loading.

 

                      Type of operating system

There are three basic types of operating systems.

  • Single User Operating System

Single user operating system allows only one user to use the system. The single user operating system are also called "Single tasking operating system"

Single user operating system allows the user to access the computer only one user at a time .Single user operating system does not required the file protection and as well as security .

  • Multi user operating system

Multiuser operating systems allow more than one user to use or access the system at a time. Multi user operating system used more than one person at a time while running on a single machine. The operating system should have to meet the required of its entire user in balance way so that any problem would arise with one user it does not affect by other user in network.

  •  Time shared system.
The time sharing operating system one of the most important operating system.  It enable the people locates in various terminal to use a center particular system. it usually consists of a "dump" type terminal connected by data lines to a centralized Micro-Computer based system that control all operations. An operating system uses CPU scheduling and multiprogramming to provide each user with a small portion of  a time. Computer systems which were designed primarily as batch system have been modified to time-sharing system
