Producer–consumer problem

The Producer-Consumer problem is a classic synchronization problem in computer science and operating systems. It describes a scenario where two types of processes, known as producers and consumers, share a common, fixed-size buffer or storage area. ### Components of the Problem: 1. **Producers**: These processes generate data (or items) and place them into a buffer. Once the buffer is full, the producer must wait until there is space available to add more data.
