Java Concurrency - Synchronization



Multithreading Example with Synchronization

Here is the same example which prints counter value in sequence and every time we run it, it produces the same result.

Example

class PrintDemo { public void printCount() { try { for(int i = 5; i > 0; i--) { System.out.println("Counter --- " + i ); } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Thread interrupted."); } } } class ThreadDemo extends Thread { private Thread t; private String threadName; PrintDemo PD; ThreadDemo(String name, PrintDemo pd) { threadName = name; PD = pd; } public void run() { synchronized(PD) { PD.printCount(); } System.out.println("Thread " + threadName + " exiting."); } public void start () { System.out.println("Starting " + threadName ); if (t == null) { t = new Thread (this, threadName); t.start (); } } } public class TestThread { public static void main(String args[]) { PrintDemo PD = new PrintDemo(); ThreadDemo T1 = new ThreadDemo("Thread - 1 ", PD); ThreadDemo T2 = new ThreadDemo("Thread - 2 ", PD); T1.start(); T2.start(); // wait for threads to end try { T1.join(); T2.join(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Interrupted"); } } }

This produces the same result every time you run this program −
