Explain any program using Semaphores...

Answer / Indramani Sharma

Semaphores are used in multithreaded or multiprocessor programming to synchronize access to shared resources. For example, consider a printer-sharing program where multiple processes want to print documents. A semaphore can be used to control which process gets access to the printer at any given time, preventing conflicts and ensuring efficient use of the resource.
