This document presents a C program to implement the dining philosophers problem. The program defines constants for the number of philosophers and states. It initializes semaphores for mutual exclusion and hungry philosophers. Philosopher processes take and put down chopsticks using semaphores to avoid deadlocks, and think/eat by sleeping for periods of time.

: 06 Write a C program to implement Dining Philosopher Problem


Program:
#include <pthread.h> sem_post(&S[phnum]);

#include <semaphore.h> }

#include <stdio.h> }

#include <windows.h> // for Sleep function

#define N 5 // take up chopsticks

#define THINKING 2 void take_fork(int phnum) {

#define HUNGRY 1 sem_wait(&mutex);

#define EATING 0 // state that hungry

#define LEFT (phnum + 4) % N state[phnum] = HUNGRY;

#define RIGHT (phnum + 1) % N printf("Philosopher %d is Hungry\n", phnum + 1);

#define MAX_ITERATIONS 2// Define the maximum // eat if neighbours are not eating
number of iterations
test(phnum);

sem_post(&mutex);
int state[N];
// if unable to eat wait to be signalled
int phil[N] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
sem_wait(&S[phnum]);
sem_t mutex;
Sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second
sem_t S[N];
}

void test(int phnum) {


// put down chopsticks
if (state[phnum] == HUNGRY && state[LEFT] !=
void put_fork(int phnum) {
EATING && state[RIGHT] != EATING) {
sem_wait(&mutex);
// state that eating
// state that thinking
state[phnum] = EATING;
state[phnum] = THINKING;
Sleep(2000); // Sleep for 2 seconds
printf("Philosopher %d putting fork %d and %d
printf("Philosopher %d takes fork %d and %d\n",
down\n", phnum + 1, LEFT + 1, phnum + 1);
phnum + 1, LEFT + 1, phnum + 1);
printf("Philosopher %d is thinking\n", phnum + 1);
printf("Philosopher %d is Eating\n", phnum + 1);
test(LEFT);
// sem_post(&S[phnum]) has no effect
test(RIGHT);
// during takefork
sem_post(&mutex);
// used to wake up hungry philosophers
}
// during putfork
void* philosopher(void* num) {

int* i = (int*)num; Output:


int iterations = 0; // Initialize the iteration counter

while (iterations < MAX_ITERATIONS) {

Sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second

take_fork(*i);

Sleep(0); // Sleep for 0 milliseconds

put_fork(*i);

iterations++; // Increment the iteration counter

return NULL;

int main() {

int i;

pthread_t thread_id[N];

// initialize the semaphores

sem_init(&mutex, 0, 1);

for (i = 0; i < 2; i++)

sem_init(&S[i], 0, 0);

for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

// create philosopher processes

pthread_create(&thread_id[i], NULL, philosopher,


(void*)&phil[i]);

printf("Philosopher %d is thinking\n", i + 1);

for (i = 0; i < 2; i++)

pthread_join(thread_id[i], NULL);

return 0;
