The Application is a Terminal-based User Interface and it is an Interactive Program.

If TWO Jobs are tied, the FIFO Algorithm will be used to decide which to choose.

Input Template Structure

Two Jobs were Inputed
Job A has an Arrival Time of 2, Execution time of 3 and a Deadline time of 4
Job B has an Arrival Time of 1, Execution time of 2 and a Deadline time of 5

Output Template Structure

After the Jobs have been scheduled, The application produce a timeline report as an output explaining what happens at each step. A Template is shown below:
