Microsoft Windows

The company of Microsoft created the Windows Operating System in the mid 1980. There are latest versions of MS Windows are Windows 10 (2015), Windows 8 (2012), Windows 7 (2009), and Windows Vista (2007). MS Windows comes pre-loaded on most new laptop or computer. It is one of the most popular operating system in the world.

macOS

The macOS is a line of operating systems created by Apple. It comes pre-loaded on all Macintosh computers or Macs. There are some of the specific versions include Mojave released in 2018, high Sierra (2017) and Sierra (2016).
According to the StatCounter Global Stats, macOS users account for less than 10% of worldwide OS(Operating System) much lower than the percentage(%) of MS Windows users. One of the reason for this is that Apple computers tend to be more expensive. However, many people do prefer the design and feel of macOS over Windows.

Linux

Linux is a family of open-source operating systems, which means they can be distributed and modified by everyone around the world. It is different from proprietary software like MS Windows, which can only be modified by the company that owns it. The advantage of Linux are that it's free, there are many different versions or distributions- you can choose from.
According to the StatCounter Global Stats, Linux users for less than 2% of worldwide operating systems. However, many services run Linux because it is relatively easy to customize.

Floppy Disk Floppy disk is slower to access than hard disk. Floppy disk has low storage capacity, if the size of file increases than decreases the capacity of floppy disk. Hard Disk A Hard Disk is a storage medium. This drive is made up of a series of circular disk called platters arranged. A Hard Disk drive are made of non-magnetic material. A Hard Disk composed of numerous discs of metered sensitive to magnetic field. It has magnetic technology. Optical Disk An Optical Disk is input and output device. These devices use lesser technology to record data and information. It has a large storage capacity of the Gigabyte (GB). Magnetic Tape Magnetic Tape is a storage medium of secondary memory. They fit up to more than 4GB (Gigabyte). Pen Drive A Pen Drive is a portable memory devices. It is used to solid state memory rather t

The language translator is a program that converts programming languages into another programming language. Language translator is also called language processor. A program written in any high-level programming languages is known as the source code, to convert the source code into machine code is known as object code. There are three types of language translator. Assembler Compiler Interpreter Assembler An assembler is a program written in machine level language whose function to translate the assembly language code into machine language code. It is a low level programming language where we place of machine codes. Advantage Assembler is very fast translating assembly language to machine code as one by one relationship. Efficiency in execution just like machine level language. Disadvantage Assembly language is difficul

The period of the third generation was from 1965-1971. In this generation was used of IC (Integrated Circuits). IC reduced the price, size , use of electricity, etc. Third generation computers were used Keyboard, Mouse, and also used the operation system to improved a new level and high speed. Characteristics of the third generation computer Use of IC (Integrated Circuits) instead of transistors Use of magnetic storage device Use of mini-computers Use of monitor, keyboard, and line printers Use high-level programming languages Less expensive maintenance cost Less expensive than second generation Improved faster operations and more dependable Small size than second generation computer Some computers of third generation IBM 360 series IBM 370 IBM 168 TDC 316 Honeywell 6000 series PDP (Personal Data Processor)
