Complete the code to identify the component that produces data in the producer-consumer pattern.
In the producer-consumer pattern, the [1] is responsible for generating data and placing it into a shared buffer.
The producer creates data and puts it into the buffer for the consumer to process.
Complete the code to identify the shared data structure used in the producer-consumer pattern.
The producer and consumer communicate through a [1] which temporarily holds data items.
The queue is a common shared data structure used to hold items produced until the consumer processes them.
Fix the error in the synchronization mechanism to avoid race conditions.
To prevent race conditions, the producer and consumer must use [1] when accessing the shared queue.
Locks ensure that only one process accesses the shared queue at a time, preventing conflicts.
Fill both blanks to complete the description of the producer-consumer flow.
The producer [1] data into the queue, and the consumer [2] data from the queue to process it.
The producer adds data to the queue, and the consumer removes data from it for processing.
Fill all three blanks to complete the explanation of how the producer-consumer pattern handles full and empty queue states.
If the queue is full, the producer must [1] until space is available. If the queue is empty, the consumer must [2] until data arrives. This coordination is often managed using [3].
Both producer and consumer wait when the queue is full or empty respectively. Signals are used to notify when the state changes.
