I just noticed that the first question of the example paper actually asks us to give a programming example...the exam tut says nothing aobut knowing code and we didn't get asked any code in the assignments...

You now how to code, so the best is to give it in plain C code as in the book.

I gues we need to know:
the Peterson's p196
Semaphores on Page 200
Monitors on page 215.

I do not think the others like the dining philosopher is necessary.
May be the basics is suffecient and all the other are just examples???

I'm pretty sure you can uses psuedo code as well (i.e. make it look like some kind of programming language) which means the code just needs to make sense and doesn't have to by syntactically correct.

yeah I would say just write it in C or pseudo code. I really doubt the lectures will penalize you if you get a bit of syntax wrong. The algorithm is what counts no?

Everything on page 215.

The first piece of code is the global entrance and exit from the monitor.
The second piece of code is the condition for wait and third the condition for signal.
