Process Life Cycle Simulation

This C program simulates a process life cycle with states such as NEW, READY, RUNNING, BLOCKED, and TERMINATED. Users can create processes, run them, interrupt, resume, or terminate them through a menu-driven interface. Input validation is included to ensure valid selections and actions on the processes.
