Hello, I have a school assignment (I have heard that this is important to m=
ention) which I need help with.

You can find my code here: https://ideone.com/LIWmJM

My assignment is this:

Modify F3 from Part 1 so that it occasionally takes more than 0.5 seconds t=
o execute.

Augment the cyclic scheduler from Part 1 with a watchdog task to monitor F3=
's execution time. When F3 exceeds its deadline (0.5s), the watchdog task s=
hould immediately print a warning message. I.e., 0.5s after start of F3, ei=
ther F3 has finished or the watchdog has printed a message. The watchdog sh=
ould let F3 finish even if it misses its deadline.

The watchdog task should be started (released) at the same time as (or just=
 before) F3 starts executing, and from that point measure the time that F3 =
uses.

When F3 misses its deadline the cyclic executive should re-synchronize so t=
hat F1 is started at whole seconds.

You should start with this skeleton code: part 2. Examine the code to under=
stand how a task is declared inside an Ada program. Try to modify it in pla=
ces indicated by the comments. You can also reuse your solution for part 1 =
as the initial code.

(P.S The skeleton code "part 2" is more or less an empty Watchdog task-body=
).

I have implemented a random delay for f3 so that it occasionally takes more=
 than 0.5 seconds to execute. My biggest issue (I believe) is that (if f3 t=
akes more than 0.5 seconds to execute) f1 is supposed to start over at the =
next whole second.

I dont know where I should put that delay for this to happen.

Thank you in advance!
