Extending The Solution for Multiple Producers And Consumers
Explore the challenges in managing multiple producers and consumers concurrently, including race conditions and deadlocks. Learn how to apply binary semaphores and mutex locks to protect critical sections, reduce lock scope, and implement a working bounded buffer for thread synchronization.

Let us now imagine that MAX is greater than 1 (say MAX=10). For this example, let us assume that there are multiple producers and multiple consumers. We now have a problem: a race condition. Do you see where it occurs? (take some time and look for it in the code in the previous lesson) If you can’t see it, here’s a hint:
look more closely at the put() and get() code.
OK, let’s understand the issue. Imagine two producers ( and ...
