Can you explain how semaphores work in multithreading?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! Semaphores are synchronization tools that control access to shared resources in a multithreaded environment.

How do they differ from mutexes?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

While both are used for synchronization, semaphores allow multiple threads to access a resource, whereas mutexes allow only one.

You

Can you give me an example of using a semaphore?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Absolutely! Imagine a scenario with a limited number of database connections. A semaphore can limit the number of threads accessing the database simultaneously.

😀
You

What happens if a thread tries to access a resource when the semaphore count is zero?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

The thread will be blocked until another thread releases the semaphore, increasing the count and allowing access.
