Operating System:-
Operating System lies in the category of system
software. It basically manages all the resources of
the computer. An operating system acts as an
interface between the software and different parts
of the computer or the computer hardware. The
operating system is designed in such a way that it
can manage the overall resources and operations
of the computer.

3003 System

In a computer operating system, the shell and


the kernel are two important components that
work together to enable the user to interact with
the system.

 The shell is a command-line interface that allows the user to


enter commands to interact with the operating system.
 It acts as an intermediary between the user and the kernel,
interpreting commands entered by the user and translating
them into instructions that the kernel can execute.
