Define a simple scenario (in the context of processes and threads in Linux) in which a counting semaphore could be used. Your scenario must be different than any scenario that are completed as part of the Activity 2 Guide. Your counting semaphore must NOT be implemented as a binary semaphore and must have a count greater than one. Implement your scenario in a C program. For the threads used in both the mutex and the semaphore, you are also not allowed to use the increment operator (++) or decrement operator (--) on the shared resource because these operators are most often thread safe to begin with.

Your screencast must without a doubt prove that a mutex and semaphore are working properly and fixed an actual problem in the code. This should be done by showing the code in a failed state during your screencast.
