Description

### Type of issue

Code doesn't work

### Description

[Enter feedback here]
the code example creates the semaphore with inital count of 0
```
semaphore = new SemaphoreSlim(0, 3);
```

this actually means that the semaphore cannot be waited on....

instead it should be create with initial count of 3 (which means it can be waited on 3 times)
```
semaphore = new SemaphoreSlim(3, 3);
```

please fix this
