Question:
We would like to design and implement a programming solution
to the reader-writer problem
using semaphores in C language under UNIX.
We assume that we have three readers and two writers
processes that would run concurrently.
A writer is to update (write) into one memory location
(let’s say a variable of type integer named
temp initialized to 0). In the other hand, a reader is to
read the content of temp and display its
content on the screen in a formatted output. One writer can
access the shared data exclusively
without the presence of other writer or any reader, whereas,
a reader may access the shared
memory for reading with the presence of other readers (but
not writers).
Answer / lina wahab
1- Displays a message that declares the id of the writer
and that it starts the updating
2- Sleeps a random number of seconds between 2 and 4
seconds [2, 4].
2- Increments the content of the shared data
3- Displays a message that declares the id of the writer
and that it finishes the updating
A reader process should read the content of the shared data
and displayed it on the
screen as following:
For each access to shared data for reading:
1- Sleeps a random number of seconds between 2 and 3
seconds [2, 3].
2- displays in one line: the content of the shared data as
well as the id of itself (the reading
process).
Important notes:
1. Let each process run up to 10 iterations.
2. Your solution should ensure the non starvation of readers

Write a routine to draw a circle (x ** 2 + y ** 2 = r ** 2) without making use of any floating point computations at all.
