This program creates a child process and shares two integers (base and height) through the shared memory.

The parent process asks four times to insert two integers and wait for the child process to calculate the area.

After the four cycles, the parent process waits for the end of its child, deletes the shared memory and the semaphore and ends. The child waits for the new variable (base, height with semaphore), calculates the area, and prints it, and after the four iterations, it ends.

I have to use semaphore for process synchronization and to regulate the critical section. The problem relates to the child process, it works only one time.
