    The Chicken and the Farmer

    In this project you are going to create two functions, one should be called chicken and the other should be called farmer. Both these functions should follow the following rules:

    1. They should run on different threads.
    2. The chicken function should put eggs in a basket (static array/list of size 1) and the farmer function should take eggs from the basket.
    3. The farmer function cannot take from an empty basket.
    4. The chicken function cannot add to a full basket.
    5. The basket is considered full if it has 1 egg.

    We kept the instructions open-ended on purpose. This is meant to have a bit of room for interpretation, there is no one perfect solution to this. We are very interested to see how you structure your solution.

    Remember to test your work. Always.
