EXPERIMENT.

NO 3

AIM: To Write a C program to simulate producer-consumer problem using semaphores.

DESCRIPTION
Producer consumer problem is a synchronization problem. There is a fixed size buffer where the
producer produces items and that is consumed by a consumer process. One solution to the producer-
consumer problem uses shared memory. To allow producer and consumer processes to run
concurrently, there must be available a buffer of items that can be filled by the producer and emptied
by the consumer. This buffer will reside in a region of memory that is shared by the producer and
consumer processes. The producer and consumer must be synchronized, so that the consumer does
not try to consume an item that has not yet been produced.

PROGRAM
#include<stdio.>
void main()
{
int buffer[10], bufsize, in, out, produce, consume,
choice=0; in = 0;
out = 0;
bufsize = 10;
while(choice !=3)
{
printf(“\n1. Produce \t 2. Consume \t3. Exit”);
printf(“\nEnter your choice: ”);
scanf(“%d”,&choice);
switch(choice) {
case 1: if((in+1)%bufsize==out)
printf(“\nBuffer is Full”);
else
{
printf(“\nEnter the value: “);
scanf(“%d”, &produce);
buffer[in] = produce;
in = (in+1)%bufsize;
}
break;;;
case 2: if(in == out)
printf(“\nBuffer is Empty”);
else
{
consume = buffer[out];
printf(“\nThe consumed value is %d”, consume);
out = (out+1)%bufsize;
}
break;
} } }
OUTPUT
1. Produce 2. Consume 3. Exit
Enter your choice: 2
Buffer is Empty
1. Produce 2. Consume 3. Exit
Enter your choice: 1
Enter the value: 100
1. Produce 2. Consume 3. Exit
Enter your choice: 2
The consumed value is 100
1. Produce 2. Consume 3. Exit
Enter your choice: 3
