Batch Processing Systems
The first operating systems were batch systems. Initially, punch card systems only allowed sequential access to information, so tasks were executed line by line, using only one application package at a time. In a batch OS, instructions are delivered, implemented, and then the result is delivered.

There are several variants:

1. Different sorting algorithms vary in their efficiency. A more efficient algorithm will be faster and consume fewer resources (memory). The ordered data can be stored in main memory or mass storage. If the data is stored in lists and in small quantities, it is usually temporarily stored in arrays and records. This data is stored exclusively for internal treatments used for massive data management. There are two fundamental management techniques in data management: managing lists and file management.
