Java, program with two processes (or threads, whichever is easier for you to code), a producer and a consumer. If you want to use another language, clear it with me first.

The producer process/thread consists of a loop that writes the loop count (a value from 0 to 4) into a variable that it shares with the consumer process/thread (this variable is to be initialized to 100). On each pass through the loop, before the producer writes into the shared variable, it does a random wait of from one to three seconds (compute a new random wait value on each pass through the loop). The loop is to be executed five times.

The consumer process consists of a loop that reads the variable it shares with the producer five times and computes the sum of the values it has read. On each pass through the loop before it reads the shared variable, it does a random wait of from one to three seconds (compute a new random value on each pass through the loop). When the loop finishes, the program is to write the sum into a file.

You must run the program twice and submit the output from both runs. Note that the output from the runs will almost certainly be different if you have written your program correctly. Place a zip file with the code, a copy of the output from each of your runs for grading (the output file must be to a data file and not a screen shot)
