3. Write a C program that creates a child process. Both the parent and the child processes will run until they receive a SIGUSR1 signal. Implement signal handling such that if the parent receives the SIGUSR1 signal first, it sends it to the child process as well. If the child process receives a SIGUSR1 signal without the parent receiving the same signal, it will terminate and then the parent should correctly call wait for the child process.

5. Write a C program that implements the boltz game. Exactly N processes (numbered 1 to N, where N is given) take turns incrementing a number, starting from 1, and sending it to the next process. Process 1 starts the game by incrementing the number and sends it to process 2, which increments and sends it to process 3 and so on. Process N will send the number back to process 1, ant the cycle starts again. Each process must print the number it sends, unless the number contains the digit 7 or is divisible by 7, in which case it must print "boltz". Implement so that each process has a 1 in 3 chance to fail printing "boltz" when it should, in which case the game stops.
Scrieti un program C care implementeaza un joc de boltz. Se creeaza exact N procese (numerotate de la 1 la N, unde N este dat) incrementeaza pe rand un numar, pornind de la 1, si il trimit unui proces "vecin". Procesul 1 porneste jocul incrementand numarul si trimitandu-l procesului 2, care il incrementeaza si il trimite procesului 3, si asa mai departe. Procesul N va trimite numarul procesului 1, si ciclul se repeta. Fiecare proces va afisa numarul inainte sa il trilita, cu exceptia cazului in care numarul contine cifra 7 sau este multiplu de 7, caz in care procesul va afisa cuvantul "boltz". Ca procesele sa isi incheie executia, implementati ca un proces sa nu afiseze "boltz" intr-o situatie in care ar trebui sa afiseze "boltz", cu o probabilitate de 1/3. In acest caz, toate procesele se vor opri.

32. Write a C program that creates N threads (N given as a command line argument). The main process opens a file F, provided as a command line argument (the file's contents are words of a maximum of 20 characters each separated by spaces). Each thread will take turns reading between 1 and 3 words from the file and concatenating them to a thread-local buffer until all the content of the file is read. Once the whole file is completely read, the threads return their local buffer and the main process will print the result from each thread. After it does one reading pass, ensure that each thread waits for the other threads to complete their reading attempt before starting a new reading pass.
Scrieti un program C care creeaza N threaduri (N dat ca argument la linia de comanda). Programul principal deschide un fisier F, primit de la linia de comanda (fisierul contine doar cuvinte de maximum 20 de caractere, separate prin spatii). Fiecare thread va executa ture de citit intre 1 si 3 cuvinte din fisier si le va concatena la un buffer local, pana cand tot continutul fisierului a fost parcurs. Dupa ce fisierul a fost citit in intregime, threadurile retureaza bufferul lor local si procesul princial afiseaza resultatul de la fiecare thread. Dupa fiecare tura de citire, fiecare thread asteapta dupa celelalte threaduri inainte sa inceapa o noua tura de citire.
