Q. Consider the dining philosophers problem where 5 philosophers
are involved. Assume that there are two types of philosophers. The
first type named as lefty (L) picks up his left chopstick first and the
second type called righty (R) picks up his right chopstick first. The
behaviour of a righty is given below.
Philosopher i:
do{
wait(chopstick[(i+1) % 5]);
wait(chopstick[i]);
eat
signal(chopstick[i]);
signal(chopstick[(i+1) % 5]);
}
State whether the following sets of philosophers seating at the table
may lead to a deadlock?
