synchronization

Iam try to implement this questions using threads and mutex this is my code :

include

define Num_thread 3

pthread_mutex_t lett[Num_thread];

void Sleep_rand(double max) { struct timespec delai;

delai.tv_sec=max;
delai.tv_nsec=0;
nanosleep(&delai,NULL);

}

void *Print_Sequence();

int main() { int i; pthread_t tid[Num_thread];// this is threads identifier

for(i=0;i<Num_thread;i++)
pthread_mutex_init(&lett[i],0);


for(i=0;i<Num_thread;i++)

{ printf("i=%d\n",i); /* create the threads / pthread_create(&tid[i], / This variable will have the thread is after successful creation / NULL, / send the thread attributes / Print_Sequence, / the function the thread will run / &i/ send the parameter's address to the function */);

}

/* Wait till threads are complete and join before main continues */ for (i = 0; i

        pthread_join(tid[i], NULL);
}


return 0;

}

/* The thread will begin control in this function */ void Print_Sequence(void param) { int i,j=(int)param; printf("j=%d\n",(*j)); int max; pthread_mutex_lock(&lett[0]); pthread_mutex_lock(&lett[1]);

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    max=(int) (8*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
    Sleep_rand( max);


    printf("A");

}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lett[0]);
pthread_mutex_lock(&lett[2]);


for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

{ max=(int) (2*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0)); Sleep_rand( max);

    printf("B");

}

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
    max=(int) (15*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));
    Sleep_rand( max);

    printf("C");

}


pthread_mutex_unlock(&lett[1]);
 pthread_mutex_unlock(&lett[2]);

pthread_exit(0);

}

and the o/p is like : AAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCC

COULD ANYONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE WRONG WITH CODE ??
