3 Threads Printing numbers in sequence

Question

I am trying to write a simple code to print numbers in sequence. Scenario is like

Thread  Number
T1        1
T2        2
T3        3
T1        4
T2        5
T3          


        

Answer 1

Bad way to do but ask is to implement using multiple threads:

private static AtomicInteger currentThreadNo = new AtomicInteger(0);
    private static int currentNo = 1;
    private static final Object lock = new Object();

Above, these values are static so that they remain same for all the worker objects.

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

public class PrintNumbersUsingNThreads implements Runnable {

    private final int threadNo;
    private final int totalThreads;
    private static AtomicInteger currentThreadNo = new AtomicInteger(0);
    private static int currentNo = 1;
    private static final Object lock = new Object();


    public PrintNumbersUsingNThreads(int threadNo, int totalThreads) {
        this.threadNo = threadNo;
        this.totalThreads = totalThreads;
    }

    @Override
    public  void run() {



        while (true) {
            while (currentThreadNo.get() % totalThreads != threadNo) {
                try {

                    synchronized (lock) {
                        lock.wait();
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " printing " + currentNo);
            currentNo++;

            int curr = currentThreadNo.get();
            if (curr == totalThreads) {
                currentThreadNo.set(1);
            } else {
               currentThreadNo.incrementAndGet();
            }
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            synchronized (lock) {
                lock.notifyAll();
            }
        }

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int totalThreads = 3;

        for(int i = 0; i < totalThreads; i++){
            new Thread(new PrintNumbersUsingNThreads(i,totalThreads),"thread"+i).start();
        }

    }
}

output:

thread0 printing 1
thread1 printing 2
thread2 printing 3
thread0 printing 4
thread1 printing 5
thread2 printing 6
thread0 printing 7
thread1 printing 8
thread2 printing 9
thread0 printing 10
thread1 printing 11
thread2 printing 12
thread0 printing 13
thread1 printing 14
thread2 printing 15
thread0 printing 16
thread1 printing 17
thread2 printing 18
