The goal of this project is to learn how to use threads and mutexs, also in bonus part i recode the project using multiprocess and semaphore.
Overview:
• One or more philosophers sit at a round table. There is a large bowl of spaghetti in the middle of the table.
• The philosophers alternatively eat, think, or sleep. While they are eating, they are not thinking nor sleeping; while thinking, they are not eating nor sleeping; and, of course, while sleeping, they are not eating nor thinking.
• There are also forks on the table. There are as many forks as philosophers.
• Because serving and eating spaghetti with only one fork is very inconvenient, a philosopher takes their right and their left forks to eat, one in each hand.
• When a philosopher has finished eating, they put their forks back on the table and start sleeping. Once awake, they start thinking again. The simulation stops when a philosopher dies of starvation.
• Every philosopher needs to eat and should never starve. • Philosophers don’t speak with each other. • Philosophers don’t know if another philosopher is about to die. • No need to say that philosophers should avoid dying.
