The Disk Scheduling Algorithms Simulator is a comprehensive Python application designed to demonstrate and visualize various disk scheduling algorithms used in operating systems. Built with Tkinter for the GUI and Matplotlib for visualizations, this tool provides an interactive way to understand how different algorithms manage disk requests.

Key Features:

• Implements 6 scheduling algorithms: FCFS, SSTF, SCAN, C-SCAN, LOOK, and C-LOOK
• Visualizes head movement patterns with animated plots
• Calculates total head movement for performance comparison
• Includes random request generation for testing
• Modular architecture for easy extension

Technical Highlights:

• Clean separation of GUI, algorithms, and visualization logic
• Comprehensive error handling for user inputs
• Configurable disk size (default 200 cylinders)
• Detailed documentation and test cases

This project was developed to help students and professionals better understand operating system concepts through practical visualization. The code is well-structured and documented, making it suitable for both educational use and further development.

Project Impact:

• Demonstrates core OS concepts in an accessible way
• Provides a practical tool for algorithm comparison
• Serves as a reference implementation for disk scheduling
