General operating system Concepts

LESSON 12

Ex.10 Enumerate programming languages you know.

Ex.9 Give a short summary of the text.

Java

Java is a programming language designed for use in the distributed environment of the Internet. It was designed to have the "look and feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than C++. Java can be used to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network. It can also be used to build a small application module or applet for use as part of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web page user to interact with the page.

Ex 2. Read and translate into Russian:

1. An operating system (sometimes abbreviated as "OS") is the program that manages all the other programs in a computer. The other programs are called applications. The applications use the operating system by making requests for services through a defined application program interface. In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through an interface such as a command language. An operating system performs these services for applications. In multitasking operating systems where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before giving another application a turn. It manages the sharing of internal memory among multiple applications. It handles input and output to and from attached hardware devices, such as hard disks, printers, and dial-up ports. It sends messages to the applications or interactive user (or to a system operator) about the status of operation and any errors that may have occurred. It can offload the management of what are called batch jobs (for example, printing) so that the initiating application is freed from this work. On computers that can provide parallel processing, an operating system can manage how to divide the program so that it runs on more than one processor at a time. All major computer platforms (hardware and software) require and sometimes include an operating system.

2. A shell is a software interface between the user and the computer's operating system. The shell interprets commands entered by the user, and passes them on to the operating system. DOS shells are COMMAND.COM and DOS shell; some UNIX shells are the Bourne shell (sh), the C shell (csh), and the Korn shell (ksh).

3. A file is a set of data available to system users. The file must have a unique name within its own directory. Some operating systems and applications describe files with given formats by giving them a particular file name suffix. (The file name suffix is also known as a file name extension.) For example, a program or executable file is sometimes given or required to have an ".exe" suffix.

4. A directory is a collection of files with a name, or a special area on your hard disk drive.

5. Multitasking is allowing a user to perform more than one computer task at a time. The operating system is able to keep track of where you are in these tasks and go from one to the other without losing information.

6. What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). It is the ability of a computer to present an image of a page layout or graphic on its screen that shows how the actual page will look like when it comes out of the printer.
