Assignments OS-2026-2027 AI-DS-A
1 Familization with Unix environment and basic shell: Please download the PDF and follow the instructions carefully. Open a fresh terminal. All commands used in Parts A, B, C and D, along with their outputs, must be pasted on the website or included in a PDF and uploaded to the LMS, depending on your instructor's instructions.

2 Aadhaar number validation with parallel posix threads: Develop a multithreaded C program using POSIX threads (pthreads) to validate a 12-digit Aadhaar number. The validation must be divided among three independent threads. Write a Unix C program that accepts an Aadhaar number as input and creates three POSIX threads. Each thread performs one stage of validation. Thread 1 will check whether the input contains exactly 12 characters. Thread 2 will check whether all characters are digits (0–9). Thread 3 will run Verhoeff Checksum Validation Apply the Verhoeff checksum algorithm to determine whether the Aadhaar number is valid. The main thread must wait for all three threads using pthread_join() and then print the final result. Please find the Verhoeff checksum in the attachment

3 Smart Traffic Light Control Using UNIX FIFO: Develop a UNIX-based Smart Traffic Light Control System using named pipes (FIFO) for inter-process communication. The system consists of two independent processes: a Traffic Sensor Process and a Traffic Controller Process. The Traffic Sensor Process simulates sensors installed at a road crossing and periodically generates the number of vehicles waiting on each road (North, South, East, and West). The sensor process sends this information to the Traffic Controller Process through a named FIFO. The Traffic Controller Process reads the traffic information from the FIFO and determines which direction should receive the green signal based on the traffic density. The controller should display the selected direction and the corresponding green-light duration. The implementation must use UNIX system calls such as mkfifo(), open(), read(), write(), and close() for communication between the processes.
