Priority Scheduling

Priority scheduling is a method used to manage tasks or processes based on their importance. Each task is assigned a priority level; those with higher priorities are executed before those with lower priorities. This approach helps ensure that critical tasks are completed promptly, improving overall efficiency. For example, in a hospital, emergency cases are treated first, regardless of when they arrived, to provide immediate care. While this method effectively handles urgent needs, it can sometimes lead to lower-priority tasks being delayed, which is a potential downside to consider.
