A student approaches the Dean of the College to take a science class. The Dean assigns a prof, who is smart and capable, but is also very tired. If the professor falls asleep while giving the lecture then the student will wait for NUM_SNORES_BEFORE_STUDENT_COMPLAINS snores before waking the professor. On the NUM_COMPLAINTS_TO_PROF_BEFORE_COMPLAIN_TO_DEAN-th attempt the student bypasses the prof and goes straight to the dean, who also yells at the prof.

You did not tell me the Dean's number so I can complain if I need to\"\n" and then do exit(EXIT_FAILURE); The student should have 3 handlers: a. A CLASS_DISMISSED_SIGNAL handler. It ends the sleep() loop in main(). It should also display a message saying the student will quit: printf("Student \"Time for lunch!\"\n"); b. A PROF_TEACH_SIGNAL handler. It just prints the following: printf("(Student scribbles notes.)\n"); c. A PROF_SNORE_SIGNAL handler. This handler should keep track of two things: 1. The number of times the student was recently snored at 2. The number of times the student recently complained to the prof Every time it is called it should increment the number of times the student was recently snored at. 1. If this is less than NUM_SNORES_BEFORE_STUDENT_COMPLAINS then it should just print: printf("Student \"%s?\"\n",PROFS_NAME); 2. Else, it should a. Reset the number of times the student was recently snored at to 0 b. Increment the number of times the student recently complained to the prof. c. If that count is less than NUM_COMPLAINTS_TO_PROF_BEFORE_COMPLAIN_TO_DEAN then it should send COMPLAIN_SIGNAL to the prof process (its parent) and print printf("Student \"%s!\"\n",PROFS_NAME); d. If the count is greater than or equal to NUM_COMPLAINTS_TO_PROF_BEFORE_COMPLAIN_TO_DEAN then it should send COMPLAIN_SIGNAL to the dean process, set the count to 0 and print printf("Student \"I have had enough!
