Execution order of multiple threads

Question

Let\'s say we have this scenario:

class Stack{

public void main{

ChildThread1 t1 = new ChildThread1;
ChildThread1 t2 = new ChildThread1;
ChildThread1 t3 =          


        

Answer 1

Easy way to maintain ordering in Thread Execution is to use Semaphore

public class Semaphore {

int value;

public Semaphore(int intialValue) {
    this.value = intialValue;
}

public synchronized void p() {
    while (value <= 0) {
        try {
            this.wait();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        }

    }
    value = value - 1;
}

public synchronized void v() {
    value = value + 1;
    this.notify();
}

}

public class ThreadSync {

static Semaphore semaphore = new Semaphore(0);

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // t1 should be executed before t2
    Thread t1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            semaphore.p();
            System.out.println("executing " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
        }
    });
    Thread t2 = new Thread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("executing " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            semaphore.v();
        }
    });

    t1.setName("Thread 1");
    t2.setName("Thread 2");
    t2.start();
    t1.start();

}

}
