Question:
We would like to design and implement a programming solution
to the reader-writer problem
using semaphores in C language under UNIX.
We assume that we have three readers and two writers
processes that would run concurrently.
A writer is to update (write) into one memory location
(let’s say a variable of type integer named
temp initialized to 0). In the other hand, a reader is to
read the content of temp and display its
content on the screen in a formatted output. One writer can
access the shared data exclusively
without the presence of other writer or any reader, whereas,
a reader may access the shared
memory for reading with the presence of other readers (but
not writers).

1- Displays a message that declares the id of the writer
and that it starts the updating
2- Sleeps a random number of seconds between 2 and 4
seconds [2, 4].
2- Increments the content of the shared data
3- Displays a message that declares the id of the writer
and that it finishes the updating
A reader process should read the content of the shared data
and displayed it on the
screen as following:
For each access to shared data for reading:
1- Sleeps a random number of seconds between 2 and 3
seconds [2, 3].
2- displays in one line: the content of the shared data as
well as the id of itself (the reading
process).
Important notes:
1. Let each process run up to 10 iterations.
2. Your solution should ensure the non starvation of readers

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.

A program that will create a movie seat reservation. The program will display the summary seats and its status. The user will be ask what seat no. to be reserved, then it will go back again to the summary to display the updated seat status. If the seat no. is already reserved then it will prompt an error message. And also if the input seat no is out of range then it will also prompt an error message. The program is continuously running. Termination of the program will depends on how the programmer will apply. Sample output: Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Available Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 1 Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 6 The Seat no. is out of range! Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 1 The Seat no. is already reserved! Movie Seats Reservation Summary of Seats: Seat 1: Reserve Seat 2: Available Seat 3: Available Seat 4: Available Seat 5: Available Enter seat no. (Press 0 to terminate Or the assigned seat capacity) : 0 GoodBye... Thank You!!!
