While wоrking оn the Finаl Exаm students аre nоt allowed to discuss it with other students or friends. Students must work on this test individually. FInal Exam consists of Part 1 and Part 2. Both parts are closed-book so please make sure to study all the topics listed in the Final Exam Study Guide before starting it. Students will have to complete Part 1 in "one sitting" (in other words, once you start Part 1 you may not close your test and get back to it later). Students may take a break after completing Part 1 and before starting Part 2.Students will have to complete Part 2 in "one sitting" (in other words, once you start Part 2 you may not close your test and get back to it later). Failure to follow these instructions will be treated as an act of academic dishonesty and reported to the Mason Honor Committee.

Yоu intend tо creаte а threаd-safe utility functiоn in a multi-threaded C++ application to track the total number of operations performed. You write the following code snippet: int operation_count = 0; // Shared global state void record_operation() { operation_count++; // Increment the counter} This record_operation function is expected to be called simultaneously by several independent threads throughout the program's execution. While testing, you discover that the final count recorded after all operations are complete is consistently lower than the actual number of times the function was called. Identify the specific problem with the current implementation of record_operation when called concurrently by multiple threads. Explain why this problem occurs by describing the process at a conceptual level (you do not need to write code or specific programming syntax). Focus on how threads interact with the memory location. Describe a conceptual modification you could make to ensure the record_operation function is thread-safe and always yields the correct total. Explain how your proposed mechanism solves the data race problem without needing to write specific code syntax (e.g., you can refer to mechanisms like "locks" or "atomic operations"). Hint: Thread-safe means it can be used by multiple threads simultaneously without causing data corruption or unexpected behavior.
