The operating system is the core software component of your computer. It performs many functions and is, in very basic terms, an interface between your computer and the outside world. The operating system provides an interface to various parts(eg. Mouse,monitor,printer,keyboard etc.) using what is referred to as "drivers". This is why sometimes when you install a new printer or other piece of hardware, your system will ask you to install more software called a driver.
The operating system provides for several other functions including:
The operating system makes these interfacing functions along with its other functions operate smoothly and these functions are mostly transparent to the user
Operating system performs following basic function:
1.contolling and allocating memory.
2.pritizing system request
3.controlling input and output decices

Operating System
The operating system
The operating system has different layers. The different layers includes the shell, the utilities, the compilers, device drivers and the applications.
Operating systems are designed with a series of layers. The three main layers are the user level, the system level including administration, and the kernel level that includes hardware.
The three main functions of an Operating System are process management, memory management and file management.
The kernel is one of the primary nodes of an operating system for a computer. It contains operating system core functions and the device drivers.
The functions of an operating system include booting the computer and performing basic tasks. The operating system manages the keyboard and mouse. It provides a graphical user interface.
carrying out fault diagnosis on engineered systems- describe the basic principles of how the system functions, and the working purpose of variouis integrated systems
An operating system is responsible for booting the computer and running programs. The operating system also keeps the system safe and runs drives.
