Hi,
I currently trying to implement a simulation banking system as part of an
assigment. I must stress i do not want line by line code to complete this,
what i'm really after is a guide to how i would go about doing this.
I need to read a customer from the file customer_list, into a fifo queue,
every Ts time. (where Ts is expressed in seconds).
Whilst this is happening i also need to have 3 tellers, who when a customer
enters the queues, a free teller grabs the customers and processes there
request, which takes Ts time. (as before). If no customer, teller sleeps.
From thinking about this, I have come up what i believe is the best way to
go.
I think i should create one process that runs the customerInsert() routine,
and then three processes one for each teller ( running the Teller() routine)
Now, the problem that i have is i have never coded in C before. I am quite
well versed in Java, however. Therefore my first question is whats the best
way to start coding this? and secondly, how do i code this ?? Is there C
API DOCS like Java has ??
Thanks in advance,
Matt
