Which drugs are known to distort the perception of reality and thought processes
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The correct answer here is Hallucinogen.

Technically all drugs one way or another distort the perception of reality and thought processes but hallucinogens are especially potent in that regard. Hallucinogens are those agents that can cause, among other things, hallucinations and changes in consciousness, emotions and thoughts. LSD is maybe the most known representative of the hallucinogens. </span>

Everybody at a company is assigned a unique 9 digit ID. How many unique IDs exist?

Think of how between 0-9 theres 10 numbers, and use that logic towards 000000000-999999999

The Sleeping-Barber Problem:
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Following are the Semaphores:

Customers: Counts waiting customers;

Barbers: Number of idle barbers (0 or 1)

mutex: Used for mutual exclusion.

Cutting: Ensures that the barber won’t cut another customer’s hair before the previous customer leaves

Shared data variable:

count_cust: Counts waiting customers. ------------copy of customers. As value of semaphores can’t access directly.

// shared data

semaphore customers = 0; semaphore barbers = 0; semaphore cutting = 0; semaphore mutex = 1;

int count_cust= 0;

void barber() {

while(true) { //shop is always open

wait(customers); //sleep when there are no waiting customers

wait(mutex); //mutex for accessing customers1

count_cust= count_cust-1; //customer left

signal(barbers);

signal(mutex);

cut_hair();

}

}

void customer() {

wait(mutex); //mutex for accessing count_cust

if (count_cust< n) {

count_cust= count_cust+1; //new customer

signal(customers); signal(mutex);

wait(barbers); //wait for available barbers get_haircut();

}

else { //do nothing (leave) when all chairs are used. signal(mutex);

}

}

cut_hair(){ waiting(cutting);

}

get_haircut(){

get hair cut for some time; signal(cutting);

}
