# Philosophers
This project is a simulation of the dining philosophers problem. The program creates a certain number of philosophers and forks. Each philosopher can be in one of three states: `eating`, `sleeping`, `thinking`. The philosopher can only eat if he has two forks. The program uses threads and mutexes to synchronize the philosophers' actions.

## About
The dining philosophers problem is a classic synchronization problem. The problem consists of a table with five philosophers sitting around it. Each philosopher has a plate of spaghetti. A fork is placed between each pair of adjacent philosophers. A philosopher needs two forks to eat. The problem is how to design a discipline of behavior (a concurrent algorithm) such that each philosopher will not starve, i.e., each can eat forever often.
## Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
### Prerequisites
What things you need to install the software and how to install them.
```text
gcc >= 7.5.0
make >= 4.1
```
```bash
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install gcc
```
### Installing
A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running.
Clone the repository.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/LudwigAndreas/philosophers42
cd philosophers42
```
Build the project.
```bash
make
```
or build with bonus.
```bash
make bonus
```
Run the project.
```bash
./philo number_of_philosophers time_to_die time_to_eat time_to_sleep [number_of_times_each_philosopher_must_eat]
```
## Running the tests
Explain how to run the automated tests for this system.
```bash
make test
```
## Usage
After running the program, you will see how the philosophers are eating, sleeping, and thinking.
