Java Thread Ping Pong example

Question

I\'m trying to understand thread basics, and as a first example I create two thread that write a String on the stdout. As I know the scheduler allows to execute the threads

One option is using SynchronousQueue .

import java.util.concurrent.SynchronousQueue;

public class PingPongPattern {

    private SynchronousQueue q = new SynchronousQueue();
    private Thread t1 = new Thread() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            while (true) {

                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.run();
                try {

                    System.out.println("Ping");
                    q.put(1);
                    q.put(2);
                } catch (Exception e) {

                }
            }
        }

    };

    private Thread t2 = new Thread() {

        @Override
        public void run() {

            while (true) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                super.run();
                try {
                    q.take();
                    System.out.println("Pong");
                    q.take();

                } catch (Exception e) {

                }

            }

        }

    };

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        PingPongPattern p = new PingPongPattern();
        p.t1.start();
        p.t2.start();
    }
}
