There's one bathroom, which needs to be used by politicians of 2 political parties:
1. At a time, no 2 politicians of different parties should be inside the bathroom. (else, they will fight :-P )
2. At a time, only 4 politicians of any given party can enter the bathroom.

Consider all requests to be threads, and based on the above 2 conditions, either allow them to go in, or make those threads wait.


I used conditional lock, to make the politicians of the other party wait, and to allow the politicians of the current occupying party. And then used a semaphore to ensure that only 4 can be in at a time.
