Study your OS text, pay attention in class, and do your own homework?

I'm not in a class; I'm doing this just to do it. I'd like some general
help here. Thanks for the help!!!

Two pieces of advice:

1. Start small. Judging by the questions you've been posting here, you're
just starting out. But you want to jump right into the hard stuff, which
is a mistake. Learn the basics first - starting with how to find and use
the available documentation.

2. Focus. You've asked about a dozen or more different tasks in the past
week. You need to tackle *one* task, and *finish* it before moving on to
the next one.

I've finished the mean program; something else is working on the error
checking and control; pi program's done; and square root and log
program is being looked into. So just tell me what programs/functions
contail an OS and an extremely simple version of them, I'll modify them
later. Thanks for the help!!!!

comp.lang.c++ is not the right place to post. Try an embedded ng
or an OS ng. This book explains the basics of OS design:-

Seriously.
The knowledge of the things you already did is not nearly a tiny
fraction of what you need to know in order to write an OS. Not even
for a cell phone.
To translate your request to the real world: I know how to hold
a soldering iron and have managed to build an electronic which lets
a light blink. Now could you tell me how to build the control station
for a nuclear power plat.

You may have already had this question: I want to link my laptop to my cell phone and connect to a dial up ISP. The laptop to cell phone link is already commercially available, but for another use. The problem is the laptop modem wants a dial tone to begin communication. Is there a driver or a program to allow communication with the ISP via a cell phone? This idea came to me while sitting in an airport waiting for a data port.

Hi, all! I have a question. I am designing a listing similar to a phone book in HTML. Each listing has periods following it, but they must extend to the end of the table cell, and not wrap. Is there any way to prevent the text from 1) wrapping within the table cell and 2) causing the table cell to expand? In other words, the filler periods must flow past the right boundary of the cell (but not be seen). Similar to:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
