Day 01 – Part 07: Introduction to Operating System

Understanding Operating System by Correlating with Government

What is an Operating System?

An Operating System (OS) is like the government of a computer system.

It is the manager, the organizer, and the decision-maker.
It controls everything — who gets what, when, and how — just like how a government runs a country.

Analogy: Government vs Operating System

Key Functions of OS (Explained with Government Analogy)

1. Process Management
   Like assigning tasks to different departments.
   OS manages which program runs, stops, or waits.

2. Memory Management
   Like allocating budget to departments.
   OS decides how much RAM each program gets.

3. File System Management
   Like maintaining records and documents.
   OS keeps files in folders and manages storage.

4. Device Management
   Like managing transport, electricity, and communication.
   OS controls keyboard, printer, mouse, and other hardware.

5. Security & Access Control
   Like issuing passports or locking doors.
   OS ensures only authorized users and programs can access data.
