How are the wait or signal operations for monitor different from those for semaphores?..

Answer / guest

If a process in a monitor signal and no task is waiting on
the condition variable, the signal is lost. So this allows
easier program design. Whereas in semaphores, every
operation affects the value of the semaphore, so the wait
and signal operations should be perfectly balanced in the
program.
