Operating Systems Quiz

The different types of operating systems include: 1) Real-time operating systems which manage hardware resources and are used in time-critical applications. 2) Single-user, single-task operating systems which allow only one user to execute one program at a time. 3) Multi-user operating systems which allow multiple users to access the computer system simultaneously.

A real-time operating system manages hardware resources and is used in time-critical applications where tasks must be completed within a specified time frame.

Multi-user operating systems allow multiple users to access the computer system simultaneously, while single-user, single-task operating systems only allow one user to execute one program at a time.
