How does scheduling work in operating systems?

Can you explain how scheduling works in operating systems?

Sure! Scheduling in operating systems refers to the method by which processes are assigned to run on the CPU. It determines the order and time each process gets to execute.

What are the different types of scheduling algorithms?

There are several types of scheduling algorithms, including First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), Shortest Job Next (SJN), Round Robin (RR), and Priority Scheduling.

How does Round Robin scheduling work?

Round Robin scheduling assigns a fixed time slice to each process in the queue. When a process's time slice expires, it is moved to the back of the queue, allowing the next process to run.

What are the advantages of using priority scheduling?

Priority scheduling allows more important processes to run first, which can improve the responsiveness of critical applications. However, it can lead to starvation for lower-priority processes.
