Seems like you might need to actually use this sort of system 
for a while before you understand it. I can't see why this is 
so hard for people to get. 
No, this is NOT A PROBLEM. You have a single writer, single reader. 
The variable relating to DONENESS will INCREASE SLOWLY AS THE 
COMPUTATION PROCEEDS. YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AT ANY TIME!
PEOPLE DO THIS SORT OF THING ALL THE TIME!!! AMAZING, HUH?
The writer is the compute process. the reader is the 'front panel'. 
Think a little bit before you comment. Or get a little experience
with this sort of thing before you comment. Or don't comment. 
Seems that your level of knowledge does not extend much PAST 
an operating systems course!
Or, try again,
		NO, YOU DON'T NEED SEMAPHORES FOR THIS PROBLEM!!!!
Get it?
