It is responsible for managing the computer&#8217;s resources, such as the CPU, memory, and storage. It also provides a platform for other programs to run on. The operating system is the first program that runs when you turn on your computer. It initializes the hardware and then loads the programs that you need to use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compiler:<\/strong> A compiler is a program that converts high-level programming languages into machine code. This allows programmers to write programs in a language that is easier to read and understand than machine code. The compiler takes the source code of a program and converts it into a binary file that can be executed by the computer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Utilities:<\/strong> Utilities are programs that perform specific tasks, such as formatting disks, copying files, and compressing data.
