What is the producer consumer problem? Give an example of its occurence in operating
systems.
Answer:
-The producer-consumer problem is a idea where two threads exist, one is “producing” data to store in the buffer and the other is “consuming” that data from said buffer. Concurrency problems arise when we need to keep track of the number of items in the buffer, which has a fixed limit on how many items can
be inside it at any one time.
