you will see that not only is P3 ready but a shorter job‚ P4‚ arrived while P2 was executing as well‚ so among the two waiting processes‚ P4 will be chosen as its burst time is less‚ P3’s burst time = 9‚ whereas P4’s burst time is only 1‚ this is why it is called shortest-Job-First scheduling algorithm‚ it looks at the arrival times‚ and compares the jobs it has waiting‚ and chooses the job with the shortest burst length. If you add P4’s burst time to the running total (time = 9)‚ the new total
