How are the wait/signal operations for monitor different from those for semaphores?

Correct Answer: If a process in a monitor signal and no task is waiting on the condition variable, the signal is lost So this allows easier program design Whereas in semaphores, every operation affects the value of the semaphore, so the wait and signal operations should be perfectly balanced in the program
