You are given a new atomic primitive, called FetchAndSubtract(). It executes as a single atomic instruction, and is defined as follows: int FetchAndSubtract(int *location) {
int value = *location; // read the value pointed to by location
*location = value - 1; // decrement it, and store result back
return value; // return old value
}

Write the lock_init(), lock(), and unlock() routines that use FetchAndSubtract() to implement a working lock. Also define a lock_t structure.

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).
