You are designing a real-time system where multiple tasks need access to a shared printer. Describe how you would implement critical sections and why: consider both length and potential blocking.
💡 Hint: Think about how to streamline printing tasks.
In a multi-threaded application, a high-priority sensor task is blocked by a low-priority logging task. Offer a solution to resolve this.
💡 Hint: Consider adjusting the priorities of tasks dynamically.
