CSCI 4061Introduction to Operating System

Final Review

Rule • Five/Four students form a group.

• After the questions show up, the team raises the # card first to get called on and MUST start to answer the question when TA calls on them with in 10 seconds (otherwise lost points)

• Each team gets one AND ONLY ONE answer per question (within reasonable time bound).

Difference from normal Jeopardy! game

• Questions are given, you provide the answer. (not vise versa)

• At most two questions in a row for a group. After that, all groups are allowed to compete for the next question.

• When you hear the bell you start to compete

• Only The Jeopardy Round and Final Jeopardy round– In final jeopardy round, you can bet up to

all you have

Other logistics

• Gayn is charge of book keeping on white board (one score per group)

• Priyesh is charge of identify the group that raise the card first and decided time-out

• Lecturer make FINAL decision whether an answer is correct or not, we can resolve disagreement later. No hard feeling ;)

• Some questions would be related to the final

Trophies at stake

Final QuestionConsider the following piece of code.

int main(int argc, char ** argv){int i;for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

fork();printf("#%d, ", i);

}printf("\n");

} What is printed to standard output? Why?

Final Answer#0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2, #0, #1, #2,

This is because printf has an internal user level buffer that gets copied, when the fork happens, and since stdout isn’t flushed untilit sees a newline (or fills up the internal buffer), all 8 processes wind up with 0, 1, and 2 in their buffer. When they exit, the buffers are flushed.
