Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

# Task 1
In the code below, vary the sleep time of `Sleeper` to prevent undefined behavior.

>Variation in the runtime with no synchronization results in <img src = "/api/collection/10370001/6066104977850368/page/5368026146799616/image/6675294851170304" width= "45"> undefined behavior.

The program has one serious issue: it has a data race and, therefore, undefined behavior. In simple words, a data race is a situation in which you have concurrent, non-synchronized read and write access to data. Do you spot the data race?


In this exercise, you will spot a data race and synchronize the code.
