The Philosophers' Dinner Problem
Five philosophers sit around a table and spend their lives dining and thinking. Each philosopher has a bowl of noodles and a fork to the left of your plate. To eat the noodles you need two forks and each philosopher you can only take the ones to your left and right. If any philosopher takes a fork and the other is busy, he will wait, fork in hand, until pick up the other fork, so you can start eating later. If two adjacent philosophers try to pick up the same fork at the same time, a race condition: they both compete to take the same fork, and one of them left without eating. If all the philosophers take the fork to their right at the same time, then everyone will be waiting forever, because someone must release the fork that is lack. No one will because everyone is in the same situation (hoping that someone put down their forks). Then the philosophers will starve. This lock mutual is called deadlock or deadlock. The problem is to find an

Every evening at 8:00 p.m., a flight will depart. Everyone can see everyone else's eye colour, but no one knows their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Furthermore, they have no idea how many people have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person does. How long will it take for the blue-eyed individuals to leave?arrow_forwardA flight of stairs has 10 steps numbered 1 to 10 as shown in the figure below. i. How many ways could you climb up the set of stairs, assuming that you can skip any number of stairs with each step, but you must end on step 10 and you can only go up, never down and never remaining on the same step. ii. How many ways could you climb up the set of stairs, assuming you take exactly 4 steps. Again, your staircase climb ends on step 10. JAlthough there are different ways in which you could solve this problem, model the problem as a balls and bins problem for full credit.arrow_forward
- Data Generator Most application depends on data. In IoT data is collected/generate by sensors. Since, we do not have access to sensors, we will have to generate data via code. The plotting a sufficient number of these data points (500 in this case) should get the following diagram or something very similar: You will pick a quantity that you would like to simulate (such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, customers arriving at a mall, or just with an alternate descriptor) and decide what shape you will emulate. This will guide you in selecting sensible value base lines for your data values. e.g., If you pick inside temperature then normal range will be 18-21oC. Design and build a class that will model your sensor reasonably well. Notice how the peaks do not occur at regular interval, nor are they the same height. Even the squiggles are the same shapes. You will create a class with a single public member (property) that give you a “random” value in your intended range and…arrow_forwardA fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forwardBuilding Arena models: A few years ago, I was in a group involved with building industrial facilities. A team of consultants visited us to make a presentation about improving the building process. They had a demonstration in the form of a game. We were divided into two teams of four and sat four in a row at a table. Person 1 was given 100 poker chips. The game process was Person 1 would roll a single die. Whatever the number was, he or she would pass that number of chips to Person 2. Person 2 would roll the die, and • If the number of the roll is less than or equal to the chips in front of Person 2, the number of the die roll is passed to the next person. Any remaining chips stay in place, to be passed on another turn when possible.• If the roll on the die is greater than the number of the chips in front of Person 2, all the chips are passed, but the difference in what could be passed is lost on that turn. For example, if Person 2 has 3 chips and rolls a “1,” then one chip is passed.…arrow_forward
