42-Philosophers

Introduction

The mandatory part of this project asks us to solve the dining philosophers problem and implement a mutithreading solution. In order to better understand the solution that we are going to implement in this project I suggest you to read something about what a thread is and how multithreading works, I'll leave a couple of wikipedia references to start learning about these topics:

• Thread
• Multi Threading
