Extra Credit for Homework 2

An alert student sent me the following message:


Prof Anderson,

After fixing the synchronization issue for the programming question, I notice the program ends after 200 products are produced but before all 200 can be consumed:

Consumed: Product<188>
Consumed: Product<189>
Produced: Product<195>
Produced: Product<196>
Produced: Product<197>
Produced: Product<198>
Produced: Product<199>

It's a fixable problem but perhaps outside the scope of the question.  Do want us to implement a way to ensure all 200 get consumed?


He's right! If you'd like to fix this problem in addition to the synchronization problem, I'll grant 5 points of extra credit.
