Scheduling Algorithms

Scheduling algorithms are methods used by computers and operating systems to manage tasks and resources efficiently. They determine the order in which processes or tasks are executed, ensuring fairness and optimal use of CPU time. Different algorithms, such as First-Come, First-Served or Round Robin, have varying approaches: some prioritize tasks based on arrival time, while others rotate between tasks to keep all moving. Effective scheduling enhances performance, reduces wait times, and improves user experience by maximizing the system's efficiency in multitasking environments.
