An operating system is a system software, that after being initially loaded into the computer by a good program, manages all the other programs in a computer.

The application programs make use of the operating system by making request for services through a different Application Program Interface (API). In addition, users can interact directly with operating systems through a user interface such as command language or Graphical User Interface(GUI).

Functions Performed by the OS :

♤ The operating system acts as an interface between the computer hardware and the user.

♤ It manages computer's memory.

♤ It handles interrupts.

♤ It schedules the jobs.

♤ It manages Input/Output devices.

All major computer platforms (hardware and software) required and sometimes include an Operating System. Linux, Windows, Mac, VMS, OS/400 X, and z/OS are examples of operating systems.

Answer:

Explanation:

Different technologies use different user interface designs in order to make the user experience as easy and intuitive as possible. This varies drastically from one device to another because of the capabilities and size of each device. If we take a fitness/smart watch into consideration, this device does not use pop up menus or side scrolling menus but instead uses large full screen menus where each option nearly fills the entire screen. That is done because the smart watch screens are very small and making everything full screen makes reading and swiping through options that much easier for the user. If the user interface were the same as in a television or smartphone it would be impossible to navigate through the different options on such a tiny screen.
