Alex is а student with Strep thrоаt (cаused by a strain оf bacterium) whо is given a prescription for an antibiotic and is told to take the drug for two weeks. After a week, he feels better and stops taking the drug. Two months later, Alex again shows symptoms of Strep throat and decides to finish the leftover antibiotic rather than going to the doctor again. Two months after that, he develops Strep throat for a third time and returns to the doctor. This time, the antibiotic does not work. The doctor runs a test and discovers that the bacterial strain Alex is carrying is antibiotic resistant. What most likely happened?

Dr. Z аnd Ms. L аre cоllаbоrating оn a document. Develop a solution for synchronizing Dr. Z and Ms. L processes (PZ and PL) so that their concurrent accesses to the document do not mess it up. This problem shares similarities with the readers-writers problem that we discussed in class. So we show the solution to the readers-writers problem here for your reference. But pay attention to the differences. Copy-and-paste of the original solution may not work. Reference: solution to the readers-writers problem // Shared data structures semaphore rw_mutex = 1; semaphore mutex = 1; int read_count = 0; Reader process Writer process while(TRUE) {     wait(mutex);     read_count++;     if (read_count == 1)         wait(rw_mutex);     signal(mutex);         // reading         wait(mutex);     read_count--;     if (read_count == 0)         signal(rw_mutex);     signal(mutex); } while(TRUE){      wait(rw_mutex);      //writing       signal(rw_mutex); }       A) [10pts] Assume PZ and PL both can be reading and writing the document. A process can read regardless of whether the other process is reading or writing. When a process is writing, the other process cannot be writing at the same time. Fill in the placeholders in the algorithm below to complete your solution.   // define your shared data structures here   PZ PL while(TRUE) {     if (reading) { // process wants to read // your code here     } elseif (writing) { // process wants to write // your code here        } } // you can skip PL’s code if it is identical to PZ     B) [10pts] Now we add another mode of the processes to the system. In addition to reading and writing, PZ and PL can also be commenting the document. A process can still read regardless of the mode of the other process. Two processes can be commenting at the same time. When a process is writing, the other process cannot be either writing or commenting at the same time. Fill in the placeholders in the algorithm below to complete your solution.   // define your shared data structures here   PZ PL while(TRUE) {     if (reading) { // process wants to read // your code here     } elseif (commenting) { // process wants to                                       // comment // your code here     } elseif (writing) { // process wants to write // your code here        } } // you can skip PL’s code if it is identical to PZ
