                 1.  Discuss in the class the various types of interfaces and how they are different from each other.
                 2.  Explain different types of operating systems, focusing on single-user and multi-user systems.
                 3.  Describe  the  functions  of  an  operating  system,  highlighting  key  functions  like  file  management,  memory
                   management, and resource allocation.
