Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <pthread.h>

#include <semaphore.h>

int mcount,wcount;

sem_t x,y,z,wsem,msem,cap;

void delay(void)

{

int i;

int delaytime;

delaytime = random();

for (i = 0; i<delaytime; i++);

}

void *woman(void *param)

{

sem_wait(&z);

sem_wait(&wsem);

sem_wait(&y);

wcount++;

if(wcount==1)

{ sem_wait(&msem); }

sem_post(&y);

sem_post(&wsem);

sem_post(&z);

sem_wait(&cap);

printf("woman in!\n");

delay();

printf("\twoman out!\n");

sem_post(&cap);  

sem_wait(&y);

wcount--;

if(wcount==0)

{ sem_post(&msem); }

sem_post(&y);

}

void *man(void *param)

{  

sem_wait(&z);

sem_wait(&msem);

sem_wait(&x);

mcount++;

if(mcount==1)

{ sem_wait(&wsem); }

sem_post(&x);

sem_post(&msem);

sem_post(&z);

sem_wait(&cap);

printf("\t\tman in!\n");

delay();

printf("\t\t\tman out!\n");

sem_post(&cap);

sem_wait(&x);

mcount--;

if(mcount==0)

{sem_post(&wsem);}

sem_post(&x);

}

int main(void)

{

int i;

srandom(60);

mcount = 0;

wcount = 0;

sem_init(&x,0,1); // for sem_init, initial value is 3rd argument

sem_init(&y,0,1);

sem_init(&z,0,1);

sem_init(&wsem,0,1);

sem_init(&msem,0,1);

sem_init(&cap,0,4); // eg. cap initialized to 4

pthread_t *tid;

tid = malloc(80*sizeof(pthread_t));

// You can use your cobegin statement here, instead of pthread_create()  

// I have forgone the use of pthread barriers although I suppose they would nicely imitate the functionality of cobegin.

// This is merely to retain simplicity.

for(i=0;i<10;i++)

{

pthread_create(&tid[i],NULL,woman,NULL);

}

for(i=10;i<20;i++)

{  

pthread_create(&tid[i],NULL,man,NULL);

}

for(i=0;i<20;i++)

{  

pthread_join(tid[i],NULL);

}

return(0);

Write a program that accepts a positive integer N as command-line argument, and outputs True if N is the square of some integer,
Ann [662]

Answer:

In Python:

N = int(input("Positive integer: "))

if N > 0:

   flag = False

   for i in range(1,N+1):

       if i * i == N:

           flag = True

           break

   print(str(flag))

else:

   print("Positive integer only")

   

Explanation:

N = int(input("Positive integer: "))

If the number is positive

if N > 0:

This initializes a boolean variable to false

   flag = False

This iterates from 1 to the input integer

   for i in range(1,N+1):

This checks if th number is a square of some integer

       if i * i == N:

If yes, flag is set to true

           flag = True

The loop is exited

           break

This prints either true or false, depending on the result of the loop

   print(str(flag))

If otherwise, that the number is not positive

<em>else:</em>

<em>    print("Positive integer only")</em>
