Odd even number printing using thread.Create one thread class, two instance of the thread. One will print the odd number and the other will print the even number.
I did the following coding. But it comes to dead lock state. Can some one please explain what might be the reason for that?
public class NumberPrinter implements Runnable{
private String type;
private static boolean oddTurn=true;
public NumberPrinter(String type){
this.type=type;
}
public void run() {
int i=type.equals("odd")?1:2;
while(i<10){
if(type.equals("odd"))
printOdd(i);
if(type.equals("even"))
printEven(i);
i=i+2;
}
}
private synchronized void printOdd(int i){
while(!oddTurn){
try {
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println(type + i);
oddTurn=false;
notifyAll();
}
private synchronized void printEven(int i){
while(oddTurn){
try {
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println(type + i);
oddTurn=true;
notifyAll();
}
public static void main(String[] s){
Thread odd=new Thread(new NumberPrinter("odd"));
Thread even=new Thread(new NumberPrinter("even"));
odd.start();
even.start();
}
}
Out Put: odd1 even2
then comes to deadlock!!!!!!
Thanks for your help.
