Description

Philosophers (Dining philosophers problem) is a project where the goal is to let n amount of philosophers eat indefinitely without dying. Each philosopher must take forks to be able to eat, then sleep, and then think whenever they're not eating nor sleeping. By achieving the goal, we adquire knowledge about concurrency problems such as deadlocks and data races and how to deal with them.
