Suppose you had the 3 separate processes, running the code below:process0 ( const unsigned int i) /* i = 0 or i = 1 or i = 2 */{   // Do stuff    // Task 0    // Later stuff}process1 ( const unsigned int i) /* i = 0 or i = 1 or i = 2 */{   // Do stuff    // Task 1    // Later stuff}process2 ( const unsigned int i) /* i = 0 or i = 1 or i = 2 */{   // Do stuff    // Task 2    // Later stuff} Describe or show how you would ensure that task 0 was done before task 1 and that task 1was done before task 2 using message queues. Make sure to specify when all messages wouldbe sent or received by inserting pseudocode in the above code or describing where you would insert code.

Briefly compare and contrast a mode switch and a process switch. Give an example of something that would cause each of them.
