Refer to the diagram below showing eating arrangements: a round table on which is set a<br>large serving bowl of spaghetti, five plates, one for each philosopher, and five forks. A<br>philosopher wishing to eat goes to his or her assigned place at the table and, using the two<br>forks on either side of the plate, takes and eats some spaghetti. The problem: Devise an<br>algorithm that will allow the philosophers to eat and must satisfy mutual exclusion (no two<br>philosophers can use the same fork at the same time) while avoiding deadlock and<br>starvation.<br>
