What is the difference between burst time and arrival time in simple words

1 answer

Burst time is the amount of time a process requires to complete its execution. It represents the actual time taken by a process to finish its task or computation.

Arrival time, on the other hand, refers to the time at which a process arrives in the system or becomes available for execution.

In simple words, burst time is the time a process needs to complete its job, while arrival time is when a process becomes ready to start executing.
