Implement the dining philosopher’s problem with the following constraints/modifications.

  1. There should be 5 philosophers sharing chopsticks, with one chopstick between each adjacent pair of philosophers.
  2. Each philosopher should eat only 3 times.
  3. The philosophers pick up the chopsticks in any order, not lowest-numbered first.
  4. In order to eat, a philosopher must get permission from a host which executes in its own goroutine.
  5. The host allows no more than 2 philosophers to eat concurrently.
  6. Each philosopher is numbered, 1 through 5.
  7. When a philosopher starts eating (after it has obtained necessary locks) it prints “starting to eat ” on a line by itself, where is the number of the philosopher.
  8. When a philosopher finishes eating (before it has released its locks) it prints “finishing eating ” on a line by itself, where is the number of the philosopher.
