Hello everyone,
Could someone please explain semaphores in a way that's easy to understand, and perhaps provide some practical examples of how they're used in real-world scenarios within an OS?
Let's say we have a shared resource, like a printer, that multiple threads need to use concurrently. We want to ensure that only one thread can print at a time to avoid conflicts. What would you use mutex or semaphore.
Thank you in advance."
