Describe preemptive multitasking.

What will be an ideal response?

In preemptive multitasking, the scheduler decides when a process stops and another process starts. It assigns a certain amount of time to each process, which is referred to as "timesharing." The scheduler starts high-priority processes sooner, giving them more time. Users don't see this timesharing or notice interruptions in processes because the scheduler resumes stopped processes rapidly.
