Program Plan Intro

Operating System:

A program that is initially loaded into the computer memory and manages all the other programs and resources of a computer is called Operating system.

  • The operating system manages the applications and the hardware, such as disk drive, memory, and peripheral devices.
  • The users interact with the operating system by using the command language or shell, and the graphical user interface.
  • An application makes the service request by the application programming interface to use the operating system.
  • Operating system performs different type of services
    • Determining the running application and its order
    • Time allotment to each application

Explanation of Solution

Main objective of early operating systems:

  • In early days, computer system has no Operating system at all, and is characterized as serial processing. By using a serial processing technique the programs are executed.
  • Earlier, the cost of computer systems were high and because of that computer time was used efficiently without any wastage of time.
  • The time slots are reserved by the users in advance, and during the allotted period, they occupy the computer exclusively.
  • A card is used to represent the program and with the help of card readers, the programs are loaded into memory.
  • Before loading the program, the user has to load the compiler to compile the program. The user has to find errors if any and should re-punch all cards from beginning.
  • In given time, if the user failed to complete the task, then the user has to wait for long time to execute again. This was a waste of time for the user.

Assignment Instructions: You are tasked with developing a program to use city data from an online database and generate a city details report. 1) Create a new Project in Eclipse called "HW7". 2) Create a class "City.java" in the project and implement the UML diagram shown below and add comments to your program. 3) The logic for the method "getCityCategory" of City Class is below: a. If the population of a city is greater than 10000000, then the method returns "MEGA" b. If the population of a city is greater than 1000000 and less than 10000000, then the method returns "LARGE" c. If the population of a city is greater than 100000 and less than 1000000, then the method returns "MEDIUM" d.
