Odd even number printing using thread

Question

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.

Answer 1

Your code corrected with using Lock interface:

import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class NumberPrinter implements Runnable {
    private Lock lock;
    private Condition condition;
    private String type;
    private static boolean oddTurn = true;

    public NumberPrinter(String type, Lock lock, Condition condition) {
        this.type = type;
        this.lock = lock;
        this.condition = condition;
    }

    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 void printOdd(int i) {
        // synchronized (lock) {
        lock.lock();
        while (!oddTurn) {
            try {
                // lock.wait();
                condition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(type + " " + i);
        oddTurn = false;
        // lock.notifyAll();
        condition.signalAll();
        lock.unlock();
    }

    // }

    private void printEven(int i) {
        // synchronized (lock) {
        lock.lock();
        while (oddTurn) {
            try {
                // lock.wait();
                condition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(type + " " + i);
        oddTurn = true;
        // lock.notifyAll();
        condition.signalAll();
        lock.unlock();
    }

    // }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
        Condition condition = lock.newCondition();
        Thread odd = new Thread(new NumberPrinter("odd", lock, condition));
        Thread even = new Thread(new NumberPrinter("even", lock, condition));
        odd.start();
        even.start();
    }
}
