Description

Processes refer to the tasks that are performed by a computer system or application. These processes can include running programs, sending and receiving data, managing memory, or other activities. Processes are the fundamental building blocks of a computer system and are responsible for the efficient execution of tasks. They are used to manage resources, maintain system integrity, provide security, and improve system performance. Processes are managed by the operating system, which assigns them a priority, assigns memory, and schedules when they can run. Processes can run in the foreground or in the background, depending on the user's preference.
