First-Come, First-Served scheduling

First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) scheduling is a method used in managing computer processes where tasks are handled in the order they arrive. Think of it like queuing at a checkout counter—customers are served in the sequence they arrive. Similarly, in FCFS, the computer processes each task one at a time, starting with the earliest request. This method is simple and fair but can lead to longer wait times if a slow task blocks others behind it. It's straightforward but may not always optimize efficiency or responsiveness.
