Process Concept:
A process is a running program or application that has its own unique address space, memory, and resources. A process can be created, terminated, and resumed multiple times.
States:
A process can be in one of the following states:
Ready state: The process is waiting to be assigned a resource, such as a CPU or memory.
Running state: The process is actively executing instructions and using resources.
Blocked state: The process is waiting for a specific event, such as I/O or a message from a parent process.
Terminated state: The process has finished execution and stopped running.
Transition between States:
A process can transition between states through various events, such as:
Execution: The process starts executing instructions from its instruction pointer.
Waiting: The process waits for a resource or event.
Interblock: The process is interrupted by a signal.
Termination: The process is stopped by a signal or resource shortage
