I'm trying to understand how to use semaphores in c#, I know semaphores accept two parameters when initializing it Semaphore(initial count, maximum count). But I don't fully understand what the parameters mean. Here's an analogy I'm using to understand it

Imagine a bathroom with only one stall so that way it's only possible for one person to use it at a time. There's a queue outside the bathroom. using this analogy can you explain what the initial count and maximum count mean.

CodePudding user response：

Maximum count is the available number of stalls in your bathroom and initial count is the number of currently available stalls in your bathroom.
