PART 2: Processes

Write a C program that will creates a child process. The parent will ask the user to enter 3
integers a, b and c and then sends them to the child. The child should find the maximum
between a, b and c.
The inter-processes communication should be using pipes.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
int fda[2];
int fdb[2];
int fdc[2];
pipe(fda);
pipe(fdb);
pipe(fdc);
int i=fork();
if (i > 0) {
int a,b,c;
printf ("enter a :") ;
scanf("%d",&a);
write(fda[1], &a, sizeof(int));
printf ("enter b :") ;
scanf("%d",&b);
write(fdb[1], &b, sizeof(int));
printf ("enter c :") ;
scanf("%d",&c);
write(fdc[1], &c, sizeof(int));
}else {
int d,e,f;
read(fda[0], &d, sizeof(int));
read(fdb[0], &e, sizeof(int));
read(fdc[0], &f, sizeof(int));
int max=(d>e && d>f)? d :(e>d && e>f)? e:f;
printf("d is the max %d",max);
}
sleep(1);
return 0;
}
Part 3:

Write a JAVA program that reads four float numbers (a, b, and c) and calculates the following equation:

a+b 2+ c3
a+2 b+3 c

To calculate the result, this program creates two threads: numerator and denominator.
 The thread Numerator calculates [ a+ b2 +c 3 ]
 The thread Denominator calculates [ a+ 2b+ 3 c ]

Once the threads finish their jobs, the program divides the result obtained from Numerator by the value
obtained from denominator. Then it prints the result.

package javathreading;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class JavaThreading {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
float a, b, c;
System.out.println("enter a: ");
a = input.nextFloat();
System.out.println("enter b: ");
b = input.nextFloat();
System.out.println("enter c: ");
c = input.nextFloat();
numerator n = new numerator(a, b, c);
denominator d = new denominator(a, b, c);
n.start();;
d.start();
n.join();
d.join();
float res = n.getNume() / d.getDeno();
System.out.println(res);

}

private float res;

 private float a, b, c;

public numerator(float a, float b, float c) {

this.a = a;
this.b = b;
this.c = c;

public void run() {

res = (float) (a + Math.pow(b, 2) + Math.pow(c, 3));
}

public float getNume() {

return res;
}

package javathreading;

public class denominator extends Thread {

private float a, b, c;
private float res;

public denominator(float a, float b, float c) {

this.a = a;
this.b = b;
this.c = c;
}

public void run() {

res = a + 2 * b + 3 * c;

public float getDeno() {

return res;
