Question
halo,i would like to know an example of producer/consumer problem.thanks

Answer
A mail server and a mail client can be an example.
Yahoo has got a server sitting in US.
You are in some other part of world, say Bangalore. You connect to yahoo server via your browser. So, your browser becomes the client. You send request for the mail and server shows you the list of your mails.

Another typical example is Database say of a bank.
So, you do the transaction from an ATM. You send the request for drawing some money. It goes to the database as a query and if the amount is available, then the request will be processed and you will get the money.
