CSCI $375$ Project #$1$

Due date: Sep $29,2024$

How to submit: Email your source code and sample result with a proper

explanation of the experiment

In this lab, you will simulate a simple multithreading application with a $$producer and consumer$$

problem.

Modify $$Producer and Consumer Problem$$ from the lecture note so that it can use all buffer

space, not $$buffersize $1$ as in the lecture note. This program should work as follows:

$1.2.3.$ The user will run the program and will enter two numbers on the command line.

Those numbers will be used for buffersize and counter limit$.$

The main program will then create separate producer and consumer threads.

The Producer thread generates a random number through a random number

generator function, inserts it into the buffer, prints the number, and increment

counter.

$4.5.$ The Consumer thread goes to the buffer, takes a number in the proper order, prints it

out, and increment counter.

After the counter reaches its limit$,$ both threads should be terminated and returned to

the main.

$6.$ Main program terminates.

You can implement this project in any OS environment of your choice, Windows, Linux, etc.

Also, you can use any programming language you want but your program and sample run should

clearly show the implementation of subtasks through separate threads. Do not use any language

or implementation specific mutual exclusion tools like semaphore, mutex, etc. You are

allowed to use only features relative to creating and maintaining threads from the proper

library.

You should not copy from outside sources. Violation of this policy will result in automatic

fail. $($You might need to explain your code and result.$)$
