In this assignment, you will implement a simple OS scheduler using C/C++. The scheduler's task is to
receive a set of processes and their details, and then decide the order of executing these processes
based on the chosen algorithm. Finally, the scheduler will output the order of process execution, in
addition to some stats about each of the processes.
The scheduling algorithm chosen for this assignment will be SJF (Shortest Job First). The input will start
with an integer N, representing the number of processes, followed by N lines (one for each process). For
each line i, the line will start with a strings, representing the process name, followed by 2 numbers
representing the arrival time and processing time for the ith process, respectively.
Your program should print a line indicating the order of executing the processes. Then, for each process,
the program should print a line showing the process's name, response time, turnaround time, and delay.

Write a C program that gets a source file name from a user. If the file does not exist, it will generate a proper error and exits.If the file exists, it also gets the name of two more files from the user, say destination1 and destination2. These files don’t need to exist as they are files that need to be written to.
If the files cannot be opened for writing, a proper error will be generated.
The program then reads the source file line by line. It will copy every line that has a digit in it to destination 2 and lines that have no digit in them to destination 1. Feel free to use ctype’s isdigit() function to identify digit characters.
Example:
If source file is:Hi My name is VeriaHello My name is John. How can I help you?I have a problem with my giga bit internet. The speed should be around 1000 but it’s just 200
Sure! I can help with that.
Can I have your number in case we get disconnected?
Sure! My number’s 647-123-1234
First file (destination 1) should be

A dentist office is currently using paper files to manage all office activities. To
make their work easier, the office decided to build a software system to manage
those activities instead of using their old paper-way methods. The office patients
can take their appointments either by phone or by walking in person to the office
lobby. In either way, the receptionist schedules an appointment for the patient with
the desired date and time. The system shall not allow scheduling appointments
with the same doctor for a duration of less than 30 minutes. Of course, the system
shall accept appointments for a specific doctor if the doctor is working on that
time. This means that the system shall keep track of each doctor working schedule.
The office receptionist enters doctors working schedule in the form of working
days for each week. For example, a doctor work schedule can be on Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm for all weeks until June 01,
2021. Now, the office…

- A common problem in health informatics is to read a message from another healthcare organization and to parse it to extract the relevant information. In practice, this is a very large problem. However, to get you started thinking in this area, consider receiving a simple message from another organization in the form <<&first name&&last name&&age in years&&medical record number&&diagnosis&>> Your organization needs to read such a message and extract out the five information elements. To do so, it needs to develop a program to accomplish this. Your assignment is to develop pseudocode to accomplish this task. As an example, if the input is: <<&Tom&&Smith&&25&&12345&&pneumonia&>> then you should output the following: First Name: Tom Last Name: Smith Age: 25 Medical Record Number: 12345 Diagnosis: pneumoniaarrow_forwardWrite code in c++ and Dont use string .

The data for each triangle will be on a separate line of the input file, with the input data echoed and the results referred to by the line number (see example). On initialization, the program will prompt the user for both an input and an output file. If a non-existent input file is specified, the appropriate exception must be handled, resulting in an error message. For the exception case, re-prompt the user for the correct input file. Once the I/O file is specified, the program will read in and process all the entries in the file. The output of the program will be written to the specified output file and echoed to the console.

- Computer Science A system call in an operating system is typically a function call that traps to the kernel. However, there are also library calls that are functions that do not directly trap into the kernel, but may invoke system calls that do. In MINIX, there is a corresponding library call read that always invokes the system call. In UNIX, there are also several other library calls---getc, fgetc, getchar, for example---that also input data. Describe the difference between the MINIX read library call and these functions. How do you think these functions (getc, fgetc, getchar) perform data input? Do they always need to ultimately trap to the kernel?

- Write the mnemonics of the following program: The pressure of two boilers is monitored and controlled by a microcomputer works based on microprocessor programming. A set of 6 readings of first boiler, recorded by six pressure sensors, which are stored in the memory location starting from 2050H. A corresponding set of 6 reading from the second boiler is stored at the memory location starting from 2060H. Each reading from the first set is expected to be higher than the corresponding position in the second set of readings. Write an 8085 sequence to check whether the first set of reading is higher than the second one or not. If all the readings of first set is higher than the second set, store 00 in the ‘D’ register.
