Assignment 3
1. Explain the concept of a process and mark its differences from a
program?
program is a group of instructions to carry out a specified task whereas
the process is a program in execution. While a process is an active entity,
a program is considered to be a passive one. There exist a many-to-one
relationship between process and program, which means one program can invoke
multiple processes or in other words multiple processes can be a part of the
same program.
