philosophers

Three solutions to the dining philosophers problem in c

✅ usage

use

make

and then run with

./philo_one {phil amount} {time to die} {time to eat} {time to sleep} [must eat x amount]

❗ note

• The must eat amount is optional!
• All the time variables are in milliseconds.
• This was made on mac, due to the usage of usleep the values have to be modified for it to work on linux!

💤 code

Philo one:

• Uses mutex locks and threads.

Philo two:

• Uses semaphores and threads.

Philo Three:

• Uses semaphores, threads and processes.

⚠️ bugs

• This project was written on mac, due to differences in how processes work some usleep values have to be changed in order to make it work on linux!
