Question: You will implement a program to show the performance of the FCFS scheduling algorithm with I/O burst. Your program should get a file (e.g., jobs.txt)

You will implement a program to show the performance of the FCFS scheduling algorithm with I/O burst. Your program should get a file (e.g., “jobs.txt”) as the command-line input, and read the contents of the file. This file contains a set of processes.

For example, consider the file with the following content:

1:(45,15);(16,20);(80,10);(40,-1)

2:(15,10);(60,15);(90,10);(85,20);(20,-1)

3:(30,15);(40,20);(5,15);(10,15);(15,-1)

In this example we have 3 processes, each process is represented in a separate line. The general format of a line is as follows:

:(< cpu-burst1, io-burst1>);(< cpu-burst2, io-burst2>);...(< cpu-bursti, io-bursti>)

The first token is the unique process id. After process-id you have a colon (:) delimiter. Then you will see a list of tuples separated by semicolons (;).

Each tuple in parentheses indicates the next cpu-burst and io-burst lengths of the process.

The cpu and io burst length in terms of milliseconds. If the last io-burst is -1, then it means that the process terminates without making an I/O.

 Note that this input is just an example, I may use a different input file having a different content for testing your codes, but the format of the file will be same. ( Be careful on duplicate last line issue when reading from the input file)

 You will assume that ;

o all the jobs arrive at the same time (t=0), the order of arrival is the same as the order of process-ids (i.e., smaller ids arrive earlier).

o the process never waits at the device queues and I/O starts immediately


First Come First Served (FCFS) Algorithm

Implement FCFS scheduling policy. You should print the following

a. Average turnaround time: The average of the turnaround times of all processes

b. Average waiting time: The average of the total waiting time for all processes.
