I have 2 matrices and I need to multiply them and then print the results of each cell. As soon as one cell is ready I need to print it, but for example I need to print the [

Answer 1

I'll right simple example show you the right way to use wait and notify in Java. So I'll create two class named ThreadA & ThreadB. ThreadA will call ThreadB.

public class ThreadA {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        ThreadB b = new ThreadB();//<----Create Instance for seconde class
        b.start();//<--------------------Launch thread

        synchronized(b){
            try{
                System.out.println("Waiting for b to complete...");
                b.wait();//<-------------WAIT until the finish thread for class B finish
            }catch(InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            System.out.println("Total is: " + b.total);
        }
    }
} 

and for Class ThreadB:

class ThreadB extends Thread{
    int total;
    @Override
    public void run(){
        synchronized(this){
            for(int i=0; i<100 ; i++){
                total += i;
            }
            notify();//<----------------Notify the class wich wait until my    finish 
//and tell that I'm finish
            }
        }
    }
