Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario with three tasks that need to access a shared printer. There’s a risk of race conditions. How would you structure the synchronization to ensure only one task prints at a time?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how exclusive access can eliminate conflicts.

Question 2

Create a flowchart that details a synchronization mechanism to handle a potential deadlock scenario involving two tasks waiting for two resources. Explain your reasoning for the design.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how task priorities and resource management can be visualized.
