What are the types of semaphores?
There are two main types of semaphores: binary semaphores and counting semaphores. Would you like to know more about each?
Yes, please explain binary semaphores.
Binary semaphores can take only two values, 0 and 1. They are often used for mutual exclusion, ensuring that only one thread can access a resource at a time.
And what about counting semaphores?
Counting semaphores can take a range of values and are used to control access to a resource pool, allowing multiple threads to access a limited number of resources.
Can you give an example of where I might use a counting semaphore?
Sure! A counting semaphore can be used in a scenario where you have a fixed number of database connections available, allowing multiple threads to access them without exceeding the limit.
