Describe different job scheduling in operating systems?
Scheduling is the activity of the deciding when process will receive the resources they request.
FCFS: --- FCSFS stands for First Come First Served. In FCFS the job that has been waiting the longest is served next.
Round Robin Scheduling: ---Round Robin scheduling is a scheduling method where each process gets a small quantity of time to run and then it is preempted and the next process gets to run. This is called time-sharing and gives the effect of all the processes running at the same time
Shortest Job First: -- The Shortest job First scheduling algorithm is a nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm that chooses the job that will execute the shortest amount of time.
Priority Scheduling: ---Priority scheduling is a scheduling method where at all times the highest priority process is assigned the resource.
