Process Creation and Communication

This repository contains the implementation of a C program for creating and communicating processes using shared memory. It calculates the value of Pi using two different series - Gregory-Leibniz and Nilakantha - to demonstrate the inter-process communication and shared memory management in a Linux environment.

Objectives

• Familiarize with process programming, creation, and communication.
• Creation, writing, and reading of Shared Memory.

Tools Used

• Linux Operating System.
• GCC Compiler.
• C Programming Language.
• Creation of processes, creation, writing, and reading of POSIX Shared Memory in C.

Project Structure

• src/: Folder containing the source code files.
• README.md: This file, containing project description and instructions.
