Document Summary
The operating system is the interface between the hardware and software application; provides a static consistence with/for applications to deal with hardware without knowing details of the hardware. There are computers that do exists without any os; for example, a microwave is a computer without an os. There are six main functions in an os: A standard computer provides power to many things, except for peripheral devices such as monitors, and printers. A computer understands zeros and ones, which is called binary code. Logic gates are the elementary building block of a circuit and they use binary code to represent off and on (low and high). There are 7 main types of logic gates: and, or, not, nor, nand, exor, Note: and gates are just like series circuits while or gates are like parallel circuits. Random any memory location can be accessed in any order and. Sequential locations accessed in sequential order only.
