[cs33211] describe your coding solution in the homework

OS students:

In the homework, when the question asks for code, you are advised to
supply an explanation in English as well. Do not explain what your
code does (it should be fairly obvious). Instead, explain why your
code satisfied the properties of the problem. Thus, even if you make a
minor mistake in coding you will still get credit.

Also, for synchronization problems such as producer/consumer, make
sure your solution provides maximum degree of concurrency allowed by
the problem. For example, produces and consumer should be able to
access the shared buffer as long as they do not access the same
element.

thanks,
