Advantages of Batch Processing

Batch processing involves collecting similar jobs or tasks and processing them together by a computer rather than individually. It is used for things like producing electricity bills, payroll processing, and stock control. The advantages are that jobs can be processed without human presence and long jobs can be left processing overnight. However, the disadvantage is that it can be slow if users need immediate responses since the jobs are processed in batches rather than individually.
