How do you avoid deadlocks using semaphores?
To avoid deadlocks using semaphores, you need to carefully plan the order in which semaphores are acquired and released in your code. Make sure to always acquire semaphores in the same order to prevent circular dependencies. Additionally, consider using techniques like timeout mechanisms or resource hierarchy to prevent deadlocks.
What is Monitors and Semaphores?

What do you call the system of signaling with flags?

What is weak semaphore and strong semaphore?
strong semaphores specify the order in which processes are removed from the queue, which guarantees avoiding starvation. Weak semaphores do not specify the order in which processes are removed from the queue.
What are Semaphores advantages?
Semaphores provide synchronization between threads to prevent race conditions and ensure orderly access to shared resources. They are more efficient than busy-waiting mechanisms and are suitable for both producer-consumer and reader-writer problems. Additionally, semaphores support priority inheritance to prevent issues with priority inversion.
