Answer / selvakumar
"Mutexes are typically used to serialise access to a
section of re-entrant code that cannot be executed
concurrently by more than one thread. A mutex object only
allows one thread into a controlled section, forcing other
threads which attempt to gain access to that section to
wait until the first thread has exited from that section."
"A semaphore restricts the number of simultaneous users of
a shared resource up to a maximum number. Threads can
request access to the resource (decrementing the
semaphore), and can signal that they have finished using
the resource (incrementing the semaphore)."

What is the use of void pointer and null pointer in c language?
a number is perfect if it is equal to the sum of its proper divisor.. 6 is perfect number coz its proper divisors are 1,2 and three.. and 1+2+3=6... a number is deficient if the sum of its proper divisor is less than the number.. sample: 8 is deficient, coz its proper divisors are 1,2 and 4, and 1+2+4=7. abundant number, if the sum of its proper divisor is greater than the number.. sample..12 is abundant coz 1+2+3+4+6=16 which is geater than 12. now write a program that prompts the user for a number, then determines whether the number is perfect,deficient and abundant..
