1. Click the START button to initialize the buffer size (n) and the count value.
2. Now, click on either 'Producer' or 'Consumer' to initiate their respective code.
3. To execute the 'Producer/Consumer' code line by line, click their respective 'Next Line' button.
4. Repeat step 3 until the code for the initiated process is completed.
5. After each click, observe the comment section and changes in variables.

Try different simulation scenarios such as:

• Consuming the product before producing it.
• Producing/consuming more than one item simultaneously.
• Explore context switching scenarios by not executing all lines of code and instead, clicking on either 'Producer' or 'Consumer'.

NOTE 1: An in-built interruption for each process will be generated in the producer code.

NOTE 2: The algorithm used to resume a process from the waiting list is 'First-in, First-out'.

NOTE 3: To understand the instructions in the code, hover over the line.

NOTE 4: Read all the alerts carefully.

1. itemP: Represents the item that is produced by the producer.
2. itemC: Represents the item that is consumed by the consumer.
3. buffer[N] (array): Producers add items to the buffer, and consumers remove items from the buffer.
4. n: Buffer size
5. Indices: in, out (for managing where to insert/remove items)
   • in: Keeps track of the next available position in the buffer for the producer to insert an item.
   • out: Keeps track of the next position in the buffer where the consumer will remove an item.
6. count: Keeps track of the total number of items in the buffer.
