Time-Sharing in Operating System

Time-sharing is a type of computer system in which computer resources are shared by multiple users at the same time. This technique is based on multitasking, where a computer's CPU divides its time among different users or processes. Each user feels as if they are the sole user of the system, while in reality, the system is sharing time among them.

In a time-sharing system, the computer's CPU switches rapidly between users, making each user feel that the entire system is working just for them. The CPU provides each user with a specific time slot (Time Slice), and when one user's time is up, the CPU starts processing another user's task.
