The Producer-Consumer problem is a classic synchronization issue in operating systems. It involves two types of processes: producers, which generate data, and consumers, which process that data. Both share a common buffer. The challenge is to ensure that the producer doesn’t add data to a full buffer and the consumer doesn’t remove data from an empty buffer while avoiding conflicts when accessing the buffer. In this article, we are going to solve this problem by using semaphores.
