Synchronize Multithreaded Printing with Mutex

# Introduction In this project, you will learn how to use mutex to synchronize the printing of strings in a multi-threaded environment. You will modify an existing "Chaotic Typewriter" program to ensure that the strings are printed in the correct sequence without any intermixing of letters. ## 👀 Preview ```bash $ gcc printer.c -o printer -lpthread $ ./printer helloworld ``` ## 🎯 Tasks In this project, you will learn: - How to initialize a mutex in the `init()` function - How to lock and unlock the mutex in the `printer()` function to ensure exclusive access to the printing process - How to compile and run the modified program to observe the correct output ## 🏆 Achievements After completing this project, you will be able to: - Understand the importance of mutex in synchronizing access to shared resources in a multi-threaded program - Apply mutex locking and unlocking techniques to coordinate the execution of multiple threads - Troubleshoot and fix issues in a multi-threaded program to achieve the desired output
