Writing a program with 2 threads which prints alternatively

Question

I got asked this question recently in an interview.

Write a program with two threads (A and B), where A prints 1 , B prints 2 and so on until 50 is r

Answer 1

This was the simplest solution, I was able to think of. It uses a synchronized method and uses the notify() and the wait() to alternatively print the numbers. Hope it helps. :)

 public class program implements Runnable
    {
        static int count =1;
        private static final int MAX_COUNT = 50;
        public synchronized void print ()
        {
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " is printing " + count);
            count++;
            notify();
            try{
                if(count>MAX_COUNT)
                    return;
                wait();
            }catch (InterruptedException e){ 
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        public void run()
        {
            for(int i=0;i
