SJF Scheduling Algorithm

Shortest Job First (SJF) scheduling is a method used by computers to manage multiple tasks. It prioritizes executing the task with the smallest estimated processing time first, aiming to reduce overall waiting time. By always selecting the shortest task next, SJF improves efficiency and can minimize delays for quick jobs. However, it requires knowing or estimating how long each task will take beforehand, which can be challenging in practice. Overall, SJF promotes a fairer and faster system when timing estimates are accurate, especially in environments with many small, quick tasks.
