distinguish between multi-tasking,multi-user,multi-
processing and time sharing?

Answer Posted / ravi

I think,

In multitasking, One process run as much as it wants but when it wait(blocked) for slow IO operation it becomes blocked & turn is given to another process to run.

In time sharing, All process be given a time slot,for example 5 ms,at the end of time slot timer generate a pulse & task is switched.
