In this exercise, you’ll use a semaphore and queues with different quality of service values to create a priority inversion: A low priority queue gets a lock on a resource, so a high priority queue has to wait until the resource is free. In the starter playground, create global queues with higher and lower qos values than the medium queue, and a semaphore with value 1:

let high = DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive) 
let medium = DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated) // existing
let low = DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background)
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 1)
