WHAT IS COMPUTER

 THE WORD “COMPUTER” COMES FROM THE WORD


COMPUTE, WHICH MEANS TO CALCULATE. SO A
COMPUTER IS NORMALLY CONSIDERED TO BE
CALCULATION DEVICE THAT PERFORM ARITHMETIC
OPERATIONS AT AN ENORMOUS SPEED.

 A COMPUTER IS BASICALLY A PROGRAMMABLE DEVICE.

 THE FULL FORM OF COMPUTER IS “ COMMON

OPERATING MACHINE PURPOSELY USED FOR

TECHNOLOGICAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH”.

WHAT IS OPERATING SYSTEM

An operating system (OS) is the core software


that manages a computer's hardware and
software resources, enabling users to interact
with their devices and run applications.
FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING
SYSTEM

 File management
 Memory management
 Input/output management
 Processor management
 Security management
FILE MANAGEMENT AND MEMORY
MANAGEMENT

 FILE MANAGEMENT: The OS provides a system for managing


files and directories, allowing users to organize and access data.
 MEMORY MANAGEMENT: is the process of controlling and
coordinating a computer's main memory. It ensures that blocks
of memory space are properly managed and allocated so the
operating system (OS), applications and other running processes
have the memory they need to carry out their operations.
INPUT / OUTPUT MANAGEMENT

 Input / Output (I/O): management in an operating system


involves managing the flow of data between the CPU and
external devices like keyboards, printers, and storage
devices. The OS ensures efficient and reliable communication
and control of these I/O operations. This includes managing
device drivers, handling interrupts, and providing a consistent
interface for applications to interact with I/O devices.
PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT

 Process management: in an operating system (OS) involves


overseeing the lifecycle of processes, which are essentially
programs in execution. It includes tasks like process creation,
scheduling, resource allocation, synchronization, and
termination, ensuring efficient and stable system operation.
CLASSIFICATION OF OPERATING
SYSTEM

 Single user operating (DOS, WINDOW)


 Multiple user (LINUS,UNIX)
 Single Tasking (DOS)
 Multiple Tasking (LINUX,UNIX)
DIFF BTW RAM / ROM

RAM ROM

 ROM stand for Read only
RAM(READ ONLY MEMORY)

memory
IT IS A PRIMARY MEMORY  It is a also primary memory
 IT IS VERSATILE  ROM is non volatile
 DATA CAN BE MODIFIED memory
 RAM IS FASTER MEMORY  Data can’t be modified
 ROM is slower than RAM
WHAT IS CACHE MEMORY

 Cache memory is a high speed memory built in the processor


and used between the main memory and the processor
 It is faster than main memory
Difference B/W Primary or Secondary memory

 Primary memory  Secondary memory


 Primary memory is Temporary  Secondary memory is a permanent
memory memory
 It is Volatile memory  It is a non volatile memory
 Its example are RAM and ROM  Its example are HDD, CD, Pen drive
etc.
Difference B/W GUI and CUI
GUI ( Graphical user Interface) CUI (Character user Interface)

 GUI stand for Graphical user interface  CUI stand for Character user
 interface
It is a base operating system
 It is a character base or command
 It is a user friendly operating system
line interface
 Its example are MS window  It is also user friendly operating
 Its used Mouse and Keyboard system
 Its example are MS Dos
 It is used only Keyboard
Difference B/W system Software and
Application Software
System Software Application Software

 System software are set of one or More  Application software package control to
programs that are basically Designed to the heed of a specific group of user, For
control the operating of a computer inventory control for school

 WORKBOOK: is a sheet made up of worksheets.
ADVANTAGES OS SPREADSHEET

 IN EXCEL 2007, many in built functions to do complex calculation.


 Large volumes of data can be handled easily.
 If entries are changed, then formulas automatically calculate the
new result.
DISADVANTAGES OF SPREADSHEET

 It requires a large memory to compute and perform complicated


actions and to do graphs
 It has a limited rows and columns in one worksheet.
 It requires skill based user small mistake in formula can give
absurd results.
APPLICATIONS OF SPREADSHEETS

 Budgeting and forecasting


 Portfolio analysis
 Scientific research
 Financial accounting
 Annual reports
RIBBON: displayed just below the title bar, in ribbon commands are
organized in logical groups which are collected
together under tabs.
