2) fgets(inputString, sizeof(inputString), fp)



char inputString[100] = {0}; To get string input from the keyboard which one of the follow..

Answer / susie

Answer : & Explanation:

The second one is better because gets(inputString) doesn't
know the size of the string passed and so, if a very big
input (here, more than 100 chars) the charactes will be
written past the input string. When fgets is used with stdin
performs the same operation as gets but is safe.

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).
