What is the difference between mutex and semaphore?

Answer Posted / answers

Mutex: Nothing but a binary semaphore.
Mutex definition says "Mutex can lock any number of times,
and also it should unlock any number of times"---meaning,
in re-entrant codes if recursive is used.

In this case it will lock number of times and also should
unlock same number of times.

Semaphore: i think its default-----reeated answers.
