A program which has the main process as Director process, which reads a file containing marks of all quizzes of all sections and creates x number of Manager processes. Each Manager process will take care of solving for a section. Each manager process will create y number of worker process and pass one quiz to each of them and they calculate and print the average.

HINTS
There are x number of sections in a course. In each section y numbers of quizzes are conducted. The average for each quiz in all the sections needs to be found out.

Read x and y as input from the user. All quizzes are graded out of 20 points. Assume the number of students in all the sections is same and it is 10 per section. The input file should contain the data according to the value of x and y.

• The parent process is responsible for opening and closing the input text file. It stores the values in a two dimensional integer array with 10 rows.
• You may need to use the following C functions: fopen(), fscanf(), fseek(), fclose().

With processes spawning processes, this hardly sounds like a simple assignment. And the hint your prof gave really doesn't even touch the tough parts.

Show some work, ask some questions, and we'll be glad to give some help. We won't do your work for you.

Your code please???
