42 CURSUS PHILOSOPHERS PROJECT

Philosophers an individual project at 42 about introduction to the basics of process threading, and how work on the same memory space. And learn about mutexes and shared memory.

The "philosopher's problem" is a classic synchronization problem in computer science, particularly in the context of concurrent programming. It imagines a scenario where a group of philosophers sits around a dining table, with each philosopher thinking and eating. The challenge is to design a system that avoids deadlock and ensures fair sharing of resources (the forks on the table) among philosophers, while preventing conflicts and ensuring that each philosopher can eat without being blocked indefinitely. It highlights the complexities of resource allocation and mutual exclusion in concurrent systems.
