Multiprogramming:
In multiprogramming, more than one program lies in the
memory.
The scheduler selects the jobs to be placed in ready queue from a
number of programs.
The ready queue is placed in memory and the existence of more
than one program in main memory is known as
multiprogramming.
Since there is only one processor, there multiple programs
cannot be executed at a time.
Instead the operating system executes part of one program, then
the part of another and so on.
Example of multiprogramming: user can open word, excel,
access and other applications in a system.
