ENGINEERING COMPUTER-SCIENCE
Write a C program to Implement a system of three
processes which read and write numbers to a file.
Each of the three processes P1, P2, and P3 must
obtain an integer from the file (these instructions
must be executed 200 times). The file only holds one
integer at any given time. Given a file F, containing a
single integer N, each process must perform the
following steps
1. Fork two processes
For 200 times:
2. Open F
3. Read the integer N from the file
4. Close F
5. Output N and the process' PID (On the screen)
6. Increment N by 1
7. Open F
8. Write N to F (overwriting the current value in F)
9. Close F
b) Briefly describe why the processes P1, P2, and P3
obtain/read duplicates of numbers (why does a
particular integer x appear in the output of more
than one process)?
Suggest a solution (you do not need to implement it)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Program Description

  • Declare two pointers to read from and write to the file input.txt.
  • Use the fork function to fork two processes.
  • Get the process ID of the function using pid.
  • Iterate 200 times and do the following:
    • Scan the file and read the integer to N.
    • Print N and Process ID.
    • Increment N.
    • Write N to the file.
