Ex 7

The document provides a C program that simulates the producer-consumer problem using semaphores. It includes functions for producing and consuming items while managing the buffer's state with mutex, full, and empty variables. The program allows user interaction to choose between producing, consuming, or exiting the simulation.

7. Write a C program to simulate producer and consumer problem using semaphores.

PROGRAM
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int mutex=1,full=0,empty=3,x=0;
int main()
{
int n;
void producer();
void consumer();
int wait(int);
int signal(int);
printf("\n1.Producer\n2.Consumer\n3.Exit");
while(1)
{
printf("\nEnter your choice:");
scanf("%d",&n);
switch(n)
{
case 1: if((mutex==1)&&(empty!=0))
producer();
else
printf("Buffer is full!!");
break;
case 2: if((mutex==1)&&(full!=0))
consumer();
else
printf("Buffer is empty!!");
break;
case 3:
exit(0);
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
int wait(int s)
{
return (--s);
}
int signal(int s)
{
return(++s);
}
void producer()
{
mutex=wait(mutex);
full=signal(full);
empty=wait(empty);
x++;
printf("\nProducer produces the item %d",x);
mutex=signal(mutex);
}
void consumer()
{
mutex=wait(mutex);
full=wait(full);
empty=signal(empty);
printf("\nConsumer consumes item %d",x);
x--;
mutex=signal(mutex);
}
