在 Java 中使用两个线程打印偶数和奇数

Question

I tried the code below. I took this piece of code from some other post which is correct as per the author. But when I try running, it doesn't give me the exact result.

This is mainly to print even and odd values in sequence.

public class PrintEvenOddTester {



    public static void main(String ... args){
        Printer print = new Printer(false);
        Thread t1 = new Thread(new TaskEvenOdd(print));
        Thread t2 = new Thread(new TaskEvenOdd(print));
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }


}



class TaskEvenOdd implements Runnable {

    int number=1;
    Printer print;

    TaskEvenOdd(Printer print){
        this.print = print;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {

        System.out.println("Run method");
        while(number<10){

            if(number%2 == 0){
                System.out.println("Number is :"+ number);
                print.printEven(number);
                number+=2;
            }
            else {
                System.out.println("Number is :"+ number);
                print.printOdd(number);
                number+=2;
            }
        }

      }

    }

class Printer {

    boolean isOdd;

    Printer(boolean isOdd){
        this.isOdd = isOdd;
    }

    synchronized void printEven(int number) {

        while(isOdd){
            try {
                wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Even:"+number);
        isOdd = true;
        notifyAll();
    }

    synchronized void printOdd(int number) {
        while(!isOdd){
            try {
                wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Odd:"+number);
        isOdd = false;
        notifyAll();
    }

}

Can someone help me in fixing this?

EDIT Expected result: Odd:1 Even:2 Odd:3 Even:4 Odd:5 Even:6 Odd:7 Even:8 Odd:9

Answer 1

Found the solution. Someone looking for solution to this problem can refer :-)

public class PrintEvenOddTester {

    public static void main(String... args) {
        Printer print = new Printer();
        Thread t1 = new Thread(new TaskEvenOdd(print, 10, false));
        Thread t2 = new Thread(new TaskEvenOdd(print, 10, true));
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }

}

class TaskEvenOdd implements Runnable {

    private int max;
    private Printer print;
    private boolean isEvenNumber;

    TaskEvenOdd(Printer print, int max, boolean isEvenNumber) {
        this.print = print;
        this.max = max;
        this.isEvenNumber = isEvenNumber;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {

        //System.out.println("Run method");
        int number = isEvenNumber == true ? 2 : 1;
        while (number <= max) {

            if (isEvenNumber) {
                //System.out.println("Even :"+ Thread.currentThread().getName());
                print.printEven(number);
                //number+=2;
            } else {
                //System.out.println("Odd :"+ Thread.currentThread().getName());
                print.printOdd(number);
                // number+=2;
            }
            number += 2;
        }

    }

}

class Printer {

    boolean isOdd = false;

    synchronized void printEven(int number) {

        while (isOdd == false) {
            try {
                wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Even:" + number);
        isOdd = false;
        notifyAll();
    }

    synchronized void printOdd(int number) {
        while (isOdd == true) {
            try {
                wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println("Odd:" + number);
        isOdd = true;
        notifyAll();
    }

}

This gives output like:

Odd:1
Even:2
Odd:3
Even:4
Odd:5
Even:6
Odd:7
Even:8
Odd:9
Even:10

Answer 2

Use this following very simple JAVA 8 Runnable Class feature

public class MultiThreadExample {

static AtomicInteger atomicNumber = new AtomicInteger(1);

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Runnable print = () -> {
        while (atomicNumber.get() < 10) {
            synchronized (atomicNumber) {
                if ((atomicNumber.get() % 2 == 0) && "Even".equals(Thread.currentThread().getName())) {
                    System.out.println("Even" + ":" + atomicNumber.getAndIncrement());
                } else if ((atomicNumber.get() % 2 != 0) && "Odd".equals(Thread.currentThread().getName())) {
                    System.out.println("Odd" + ":" + atomicNumber.getAndIncrement());
                }
            }
        }
    };

    Thread t1 = new Thread(print);
    t1.setName("Even");
    t1.start();
    Thread t2 = new Thread(print);
    t2.setName("Odd");
    t2.start();

}
}

Answer 3

Here is the code which I made it work through a single class

package com.learn.thread;

public class PrintNumbers extends Thread {
volatile static int i = 1;
Object lock;

PrintNumbers(Object lock) {
    this.lock = lock;
}

public static void main(String ar[]) {
    Object obj = new Object();
    // This constructor is required for the identification of wait/notify
    // communication
    PrintNumbers odd = new PrintNumbers(obj);
    PrintNumbers even = new PrintNumbers(obj);
    odd.setName("Odd");
    even.setName("Even");
    odd.start();
    even.start();
}

@Override
public void run() {
    while (i <= 10) {
        if (i % 2 == 0 && Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("Even")) {
            synchronized (lock) {
                System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " - "
                        + i);
                i++;
                try {
                    lock.wait();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
        if (i % 2 == 1 && Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("Odd")) {
            synchronized (lock) {
                System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " - "
                        + i);
                i++;
                lock.notify();
              }
           }
        }
    }
}

Output:

Odd - 1
Even - 2
Odd - 3
Even - 4
Odd - 5
Even - 6
Odd - 7
Even - 8
Odd - 9
Even - 10
Odd - 11

Answer 4

   private Object lock = new Object();
   private volatile boolean isOdd = false;


    public void generateEvenNumbers(int number) throws InterruptedException {

        synchronized (lock) {
            while (isOdd == false) 
            {
                lock.wait();
            }
            System.out.println(number);
            isOdd = false;
            lock.notifyAll();
        }
    }

    public void generateOddNumbers(int number) throws InterruptedException {

        synchronized (lock) {
            while (isOdd == true) {
                lock.wait();
            }
            System.out.println(number);
            isOdd = true;
            lock.notifyAll();
        }
    }

Answer 5

This is easiest solution for this problem.

public class OddEven implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
            synchronized (this) {
                if (i % 2 == 0 && Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("t2")) {
                    try {
                        notifyAll();
                        System.out.println("Even Thread : " + i);
                        wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                } else if (i % 2 != 0
                        && Thread.currentThread().getName().equals("t1")) {
                    try {
                        notifyAll();
                        System.out.println("Odd Thread : " + i);
                        wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        OddEven obj = new OddEven();
        Thread t1 = new Thread(obj, "t1");
        Thread t2 = new Thread(obj, "t2");
        t1.start();
        t2.start();

    }
}

Answer 6

Simplest Solution!!

public class OddEvenWithThread {
    public static void main(String a[]) {
        Thread t1 = new Thread(new OddEvenRunnable(0), "Even Thread");
        Thread t2 = new Thread(new OddEvenRunnable(1), "Odd Thread");

        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }
}

class OddEvenRunnable implements Runnable {
    Integer evenflag;
    static Integer number = 1;
    static Object lock = new Object();

    OddEvenRunnable(Integer evenFlag) {
        this.evenflag = evenFlag;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while (number < 10) {
            synchronized (lock) {
                try {
                    while (number % 2 != evenflag) {
                        lock.wait();
                    }
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " " + number);
                number++;
                lock.notifyAll();
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 7

The same can be done with Lock interface:

import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class NumberPrinter implements Runnable {
    private Lock lock;
    private Condition condition;
    private String type;
    private static boolean oddTurn = true;

    public NumberPrinter(String type, Lock lock, Condition condition) {
        this.type = type;
        this.lock = lock;
        this.condition = condition;
    }

    public void run() {
        int i = type.equals("odd") ? 1 : 2;
        while (i <= 10) {
            if (type.equals("odd"))
                printOdd(i);
            if (type.equals("even"))
                printEven(i);
            i = i + 2;
        }
    }

    private void printOdd(int i) {
        // synchronized (lock) {
        lock.lock();
        while (!oddTurn) {
            try {
                // lock.wait();
                condition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(type + " " + i);
        oddTurn = false;
        // lock.notifyAll();
        condition.signalAll();
        lock.unlock();
    }

    // }

    private void printEven(int i) {
        // synchronized (lock) {
        lock.lock();
        while (oddTurn) {
            try {
                // lock.wait();
                condition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(type + " " + i);
        oddTurn = true;
        // lock.notifyAll();
        condition.signalAll();
        lock.unlock();
    }

    // }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
        Condition condition = lock.newCondition();
        Thread odd = new Thread(new NumberPrinter("odd", lock, condition));
        Thread even = new Thread(new NumberPrinter("even", lock, condition));
        odd.start();
        even.start();
    }
}

Answer 8

This code will also work fine.

class Thread1 implements Runnable {

    private static boolean evenFlag = true;

    public synchronized void run() {
        if (evenFlag == true) {
            printEven();
        } else {
           printOdd();
        }
    }

    public void printEven() {
        for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i += 2) {
            System.out.println(i+""+Thread.currentThread());
        }
        evenFlag = false;
    }

    public  void printOdd() {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 11; i += 2) {
            System.out.println(i+""+Thread.currentThread());
        }
        evenFlag = true;
    }
}

public class OddEvenDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Thread1 t1 = new Thread1();
        Thread td1 = new Thread(t1);
        Thread td2 = new Thread(t1);
        td1.start();
        td2.start();

    }
}

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;


public class PrintEvenOddTester {

        isEven = true;
        notifyAll();
    }
}

Answer 10

The other question was closed as a duplicate of this one. I think we can safely get rid of "even or odd" problem and use the wait/notify construct as follows:

public class WaitNotifyDemoEvenOddThreads {
    /**
     * A transfer object, only use with proper client side locking!
     */
    static final class LastNumber {
        int num;
        final int limit;

        LastNumber(int num, int limit) {
            this.num = num;
            this.limit = limit;
        }
    }

    static final class NumberPrinter implements Runnable {
        private final LastNumber last;
        private final int init;

        NumberPrinter(LastNumber last, int init) {
            this.last = last;
            this.init = init;
        }

        @Override
        public void run() {
            int i = init;
            synchronized (last) {
                while (i <= last.limit) {
                    while (last.num != i) {
                        try {
                            last.wait();
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " prints: " + i);
                    last.num = i + 1;
                    i += 2;
                    last.notify();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LastNumber last = new LastNumber(0, 10); // or 0, 1000
        NumberPrinter odd = new NumberPrinter(last, 1);

Simpler Version in Java 8:

    static boolean flag = true;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable odd = () -> {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 10;) {
                if(EvenOddPrinter.flag) {
                    System.out.println(i);
                    i+=2;
                    EvenOddPrinter.flag = !EvenOddPrinter.flag;
                }
            }
        };

        Runnable even = () -> {
            for (int i = 2; i <= 10;) {
                if(!EvenOddPrinter.flag) {
                    System.out.println(i);
                    i+=2;
                    EvenOddPrinter.flag = !EvenOddPrinter.flag;
                }
            }
        };

         Thread t1 = new Thread(odd, "Odd");
         Thread t2 = new Thread(even, "Even");
         t1.start();
         t2.start();

Answer 13

I have done it this way, while printing using two threads we cannot predict the sequence which thread
would get executed first so to overcome this situation we have to synchronize the shared resource,in
my case the print function which two threads are trying to access.

class Printoddeven{

    public synchronized void print(String msg) {
        try {
            if(msg.equals("Even")) {
                for(int i=0;i<=10;i+=2) {
                    System.out.println(msg+" "+i);
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                    notify();
                    wait();
                }
            } else {
                for(int i=1;i<=10;i+=2) {
                    System.out.println(msg+" "+i);
                    Thread.sleep(2000);
                    notify();
                    wait();
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

class PrintOdd extends Thread{
    Printoddeven oddeven;
    public PrintOdd(Printoddeven oddeven){
        this.oddeven=oddeven;
    }

    public void run(){
        oddeven.print("ODD");
    }
}

class PrintEven extends Thread{
    Printoddeven oddeven;
    public PrintEven(Printoddeven oddeven){
        this.oddeven=oddeven;
    }

    public void run(){
        oddeven.print("Even");
    }
}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Printoddeven obj = new Printoddeven();//only one object

    }
}

Answer 14

This is my solution to the problem. I have two classes implementing Runnable , one prints odd sequence and the other prints even. I have an instance of Object , that I use for lock. I initialize the two classes with the same object. There is a synchronized block inside the run method of the two classes, where, inside a loop, each method prints one of the numbers, notifies the other thread, waiting for lock on the same object and then itself waits for the same lock again.

The classes :

public class PrintEven implements Runnable{
private Object lock;
public PrintEven(Object lock) {
    this.lock =  lock;
}
@Override
public void run() {
    synchronized (lock) {
        for (int i = 2; i <= 10; i+=2) {
            System.out.println("EVEN:="+i);
            lock.notify();
            try {
                //if(i!=10) lock.wait();
                lock.wait(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

  }
}


public class PrintOdd implements Runnable {
private Object lock;
public PrintOdd(Object lock) {
    this.lock =  lock;
}
@Override
public void run() {
    synchronized (lock) {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i+=2) {
            System.out.println("ODD:="+i);
            lock.notify();
            try {
                //if(i!=9) lock.wait();
                lock.wait(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}
}

public class PrintEvenOdd {
public static void main(String[] args){
    Object lock = new Object(); 
    Thread thread1 =  new Thread(new PrintOdd(lock));
    Thread thread2 =  new Thread(new PrintEven(lock));
    thread1.start();
    thread2.start();
}
}

The upper limit in my example is 10. Once the odd thread prints 9 or the even thread prints 10, then we don't need any of the threads to wait any more. So, we can handle that using one if-block . Or, we can use the overloaded wait(long timeout) method for the wait to be timed out. One flaw here though. With this code, we cannot guarantee which thread will start execution first.

Another example, using Lock and Condition

import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class LockConditionOddEven {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
    Lock lock =  new ReentrantLock();
    Condition evenCondition = lock.newCondition();
    Condition oddCondition = lock.newCondition();
    Thread evenThread =  new Thread(new EvenPrinter(10, lock, evenCondition, oddCondition));
    Thread oddThread =  new Thread(new OddPrinter(10, lock, evenCondition, oddCondition));
    oddThread.start();
    evenThread.start();
}

static class OddPrinter implements Runnable{
    int i = 1;
    int limit;
    Lock lock;
    Condition evenCondition;
    Condition oddCondition;

    public OddPrinter(int limit) {
        super();
        this.limit = limit;
    }

    public OddPrinter(int limit, Lock lock, Condition evenCondition, Condition oddCondition) {
        super();
        this.limit = limit;
        this.lock = lock;
        this.evenCondition = evenCondition;
        this.oddCondition = oddCondition;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        while( i <=limit) {
            lock.lock();
            System.out.println("Odd:"+i);
            evenCondition.signal();
            i+=2;
            try {
                oddCondition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally {
                lock.unlock();
            }
        }
    }
}

static class EvenPrinter implements Runnable{
    int i = 2;
    int limit;
    Lock lock;
    Condition evenCondition;
    Condition oddCondition;

    public EvenPrinter(int limit) {
        super();
        this.limit = limit;
    }


    public EvenPrinter(int limit, Lock lock, Condition evenCondition, Condition oddCondition) {
        super();
        this.limit = limit;
        this.lock = lock;
        this.evenCondition = evenCondition;
        this.oddCondition = oddCondition;
    }


    @Override
    public void run() {
        while( i <=limit) {
            lock.lock();
            System.out.println("Even:"+i);
            i+=2;
            oddCondition.signal();
            try {
                evenCondition.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally {
                lock.unlock();
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 15

Here is the working code to print odd even no alternatively using wait and notify mechanism. I have restrict the limit of numbers to print 1 to 50.

public class NotifyTest {
    Object ob=new Object(); 

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    NotifyTest nt=new NotifyTest();

    even e=new even(nt.ob);     
    odd o=new odd(nt.ob);

    Thread t1=new Thread(e);
    Thread t2=new Thread(o);

    t1.start();     
    t2.start();
    }
}    

class even implements Runnable
{
    Object lock;        
    int i=2;

    public even(Object ob)
    {
        this.lock=ob;       
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub      
        while(i<=50)
        {
            synchronized (lock) {               
            try {
                lock.wait();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            System.out.println("Even Thread Name-->>" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + "Value-->>" + i);
            i=i+2;              
        }           
    }       
} 

class odd implements Runnable
{

    Object lock;
    int i=1;    

    public odd(Object ob)
    {
        this.lock=ob;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        while(i<=49)
        {
            synchronized (lock) {               
            System.out.println("Odd Thread Name-->>" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + "Value-->>" + i);
            i=i+2;              
            lock.notify();
            }
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }       
}

Answer 16

Following is my implementation using 2 Semaphores.

1. Odd Semaphore with permit 1.
2. Even Semaphore with permit 0.
3. Pass the two Semaphores to both threads as following signature (my, other):-
4. To Odd thread pass in the order (odd, even)
5. To Even thread pass in this order (even, odd)
6. run() method logic is my.acquireUninterruptibly() -> Print -> other.release()
7. In Even thread as even Sema is 0 it will block.
8. In Odd thread as odd Sema is available (init to 1) this will print 1 and then release even Sema allowing Even thread to run.

9. Even thread runs prints 2 and release odd Sema allowing Odd thread to run.

    import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore; public class EvenOdd { private final static String ODD = "ODD"; private final static String EVEN = "EVEN"; private final static int MAX_ITERATIONS = 10; public static class EvenOddThread implements Runnable { private String mType; private int mNum; private Semaphore mMySema; private Semaphore mOtherSema; public EvenOddThread(String str, Semaphore mine, Semaphore other) { mType = str; mMySema = mine;//new Semaphore(1); // start out as unlocked mOtherSema = other;//new Semaphore(0); if(str.equals(ODD)) { mNum = 1; } else { mNum = 2; } } @Override public void run() { for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATIONS; i++) { mMySema.acquireUninterruptibly(); if (mType.equals(ODD)) { System.out.println("Odd Thread - " + mNum); } else { System.out.println("Even Thread - " + mNum); } mNum += 2; mOtherSema.release(); } } } public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { Semaphore odd = new Semaphore(1); Semaphore even = new Semaphore(0); System.out.println("Start!!!"); System.out.println(); Thread tOdd = new Thread(new EvenOddThread(ODD, odd, even)); Thread tEven = new Thread(new EvenOddThread(EVEN, even, odd)); tOdd.start(); tEven.start(); tOdd.join(); tEven.join(); System.out.println(); System.out.println("Done!!!"); } }

Following is the output:-

Start!!!

Odd Thread - 1
Even Thread - 2
Odd Thread - 3
Even Thread - 4
Odd Thread - 5
Even Thread - 6
Odd Thread - 7
Even Thread - 8
Odd Thread - 9
Even Thread - 10
Odd Thread - 11
Even Thread - 12
Odd Thread - 13
Even Thread - 14
Odd Thread - 15
Even Thread - 16
Odd Thread - 17
Even Thread - 18
Odd Thread - 19
Even Thread - 20

Answer 17

I think the solutions being provided have unnecessarily added stuff and does not use semaphores to its full potential. Here's what my solution is.

package com.test.threads;

import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore;

public class EvenOddThreadTest {

    public static int MAX = 100;
    public static Integer number = new Integer(0);

    //Unlocked state
    public Semaphore semaphore = new Semaphore(1);
    class PrinterThread extends Thread {

        int start = 0;
        String name;

        PrinterThread(String name ,int start) {
            this.start = start;
            this.name = name;
        }

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try{
                while(start < MAX){
                    // try to acquire the number of semaphore equal to your value
                    // and if you do not get it then wait for it.
                semaphore.acquire(start);
                System.out.println(name + " : " + start);
                // prepare for the next iteration.
                start+=2;
                // release one less than what you need to print in the next iteration.
                // This will release the other thread which is waiting to print the next number.
                semaphore.release(start-1);
                }
            } catch(InterruptedException e){

            }

Answer 20

You can use the following code to get the output with creating two anonymous thread classes.

package practice;

class Display {
    boolean isEven = false;

    synchronized public void printEven(int number) throws InterruptedException {
        while (isEven)
            wait();
        System.out.println("Even : " + number);
        isEven = true;
        notify();
    }

    synchronized public void printOdd(int number) throws InterruptedException {
        while (!isEven)
            wait();
        System.out.println("Odd : " + number);
        isEven = false;
        notify();
    }
}

public class OddEven {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        final Display disp = new Display();


        new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                int num = 0;
                for (int i = num; i <= 10; i += 2) {
                    try {
                        disp.printEven(i);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }.start();

        new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                int num = 1;
                for (int i = num; i <= 10; i += 2) {
                    try {
                        disp.printOdd(i);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }.start();
    }

}

This can be acheived using Lock and Condition :

import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class EvenOddThreads {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        Printer p = new Printer();
        Thread oddThread = new Thread(new PrintThread(p,false),"Odd  :");
        Thread evenThread = new Thread(new PrintThread(p,true),"Even :");
        oddThread.start();
        evenThread.start();
    }

}

class PrintThread implements Runnable{
    Printer p;
    boolean isEven = false;

    PrintThread(Printer p, boolean isEven){
        this.p = p;
        this.isEven = isEven;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        int i = (isEven==true) ? 2 : 1;
        while(i < 10 ){
            if(isEven){
                p.printEven(i);
            }else{
                p.printOdd(i);
            }
            i=i+2;
        }
    }
}

class Printer{

    boolean isEven = true;
    Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
    Condition condEven = lock.newCondition();
    Condition condOdd = lock.newCondition();

    public void printEven(int no){
        lock.lock();
        while(isEven==true){
            try {
                condEven.await();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() +no);
        isEven = true;
        condOdd.signalAll();

            }
        }
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() +no);
        isEven = false;
        condEven.signalAll();
        lock.unlock();
    }
}

            if(oddFlag) {
              Thread.sleep(500);
              System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + ": " + count++);
              oddFlag = !oddFlag;
              notifyAll();

Answer 29

I could not understand most of the codes that were here so I wrote myself one, maybe it helps someone like me:

NOTE: This does not use separate print even and odd method. One method print() does it all.

public class test {

    private static int START_INT = 1;
    private static int STOP_INT = 10;
    private static String THREAD_1 = "Thread A";
    private static String THREAD_2 = "Thread B";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SynchronizedRepository syncRep = new SynchronizedRepository(START_INT,STOP_INT);
        Runnable r1 = new EvenOddWorker(THREAD_1,syncRep);
        Runnable r2 = new EvenOddWorker(THREAD_2,syncRep);
        Thread t1 = new Thread(r1, THREAD_1);
        Thread t2 = new Thread(r2, THREAD_2);
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }

}




public class SynchronizedRepository {
    private volatile int number;
    private volatile boolean isSlotEven;
    private int startNumber;
    private int stopNumber;

    public SynchronizedRepository(int startNumber, int stopNumber) {
        super();
        this.number = startNumber;
        this.isSlotEven = startNumber%2==0;
        this.startNumber = startNumber;
        this.stopNumber = stopNumber;
    }


    public synchronized void print(String threadName) {
        try {
            for(int i=startNumber; i<=stopNumber/2; i++){
                if ((isSlotEven && number % 2 == 0)||
                        (!isSlotEven && number % 2 != 0)){
                    System.out.println(threadName + " "+ number);
                    isSlotEven = !isSlotEven;
                    number++;
                }
                notifyAll();
                wait();
            }
            notifyAll();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}



public class EvenOddWorker implements Runnable {

    private String threadName;
    private SynchronizedRepository syncRep;

    public EvenOddWorker(String threadName, SynchronizedRepository syncRep) {
        super();
        this.threadName = threadName;
        this.syncRep = syncRep;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        syncRep.print(threadName);
    }

}

Answer 34

This solution works for me (Java 8 and above used Lamda expression)

public class EvenOddUsingThread {

    static int number = 100;
    static int counter = 1;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EvenOddUsingThread eod = new EvenOddUsingThread();
        Thread t1 = new Thread(() -> eod.printOdd());
        Thread t2 = new Thread(() -> eod.printEven());
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }

    public void printOdd() {
        synchronized (this) {
            while (counter < number) {
                if (counter % 2 == 0) {
                    try {
                        wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    }
                }
                // Print the number
                System.out.println(counter + " Thread Name: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                // Increment counter
                counter++;
                // Notify to second thread
                notify();
            }
        }
    }

    public void printEven() {
        synchronized (this) {
            while (counter < number) {
                if (counter % 2 == 1) {
                    try {
                        wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException ignored) {
                    }
                }

                System.out.println(counter + " Thread Name: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                // Increment counter
                counter++;
                // Notify to second thread
                notify();
            }
        }
    }

Answer 35

The solution below is using java 8 completable future and executor service to print even and odd numbers using two threads.

ExecutorService firstExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(r -> {
        Thread t = new Thread(r);
        t.setName("first");
        return t;
    });

    ExecutorService secondExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(r -> {
        Thread t = new Thread(r);
        t.setName("second");
        return t;
    });

    IntStream.range(1, 101).forEach(num -> {

        CompletableFuture<Integer> thenApplyAsync = CompletableFuture.completedFuture(num).thenApplyAsync(x -> {

            if (x % 2 == 1) {
                System.out.println(x + " " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            }
            return num;
        }, firstExecutorService);

        thenApplyAsync.join();

        CompletableFuture<Integer> thenApplyAsync2 = CompletableFuture.completedFuture(num).thenApplyAsync(x -> {
            if (x % 2 == 0) {
                System.out.println(x + " " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
            }
            return num;
        }, secondExecutorService);

        thenApplyAsync2.join();
    });

    firstExecutorService.shutdown();
    secondExecutorService.shutdown();

The below is the console log of it.

Answer 36

We can print odd and even using two separate threads using CompletableFuture as well:

import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
import java.util.function.IntPredicate;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

public class OddEvenBy2Thread {

    private static Object object = new Object();

    private static IntPredicate evenCondition = e -> e % 2 == 0;
    private static IntPredicate oddCondition = e -> e % 2 != 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        // Odd number printer
        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> OddEvenBy2Thread.printNumber(oddCondition));

        // Even number printer
        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> OddEvenBy2Thread.printNumber(evenCondition));

        Thread.sleep(1000);
    }

    public static void printNumber(IntPredicate condition){
        IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 10).filter(condition).forEach(OddEvenBy2Thread::execute);
    }

    public static void execute(int num){
        synchronized (object){
            try{
                System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" : "+num);
                object.notify();
                object.wait();
            }catch (InterruptedException e){
                e.printStackTrace();

        }
    }

    int number;
    String name;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    new PrinterThread("thread1 : ", 20).start();
    new PrinterThread("thread2 : ", 20).start();
}
}

Answer 40

1- The number is initialized with 1 and isOdd flag is set to false . set isOdd to true

2- Increment should be by 1 (not by 2) ie number+=1 ;

import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore;


public class PrintOddAndEven {

private static class OddThread extends Thread {
    private Semaphore semaphore;
    private Semaphore otherSemaphore;
    private int value = 1;

    public  OddThread(Semaphore semaphore, Semaphore otherSemaphore) {
        this.semaphore = semaphore;
        this.otherSemaphore = otherSemaphore;
    }

    public void run() {
        while (value <= 100) {
            try {
                // Acquire odd semaphore
                semaphore.acquire();
                System.out.println(" Odd Thread " + value + " " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

            } catch (InterruptedException excetion) {
                excetion.printStackTrace();
            }
            value = value + 2;
            // Release odd semaphore
            otherSemaphore.release();
        }
    }
}


private static class EvenThread extends Thread {
    private Semaphore semaphore;
    private Semaphore otherSemaphore;

    private int value = 2;

    public  EvenThread(Semaphore semaphore, Semaphore otherSemaphore) {
        this.semaphore = semaphore;
        this.otherSemaphore = otherSemaphore;
    }

    public void run() {
        while (value <= 100) {
            try {
                // Acquire even semaphore
                semaphore.acquire();
                System.out.println(" Even Thread " + value + " " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

            } catch (InterruptedException excetion) {

            // Release odd semaphore
            otherSemaphore.release();
        }
    }
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Initialize oddSemaphore with permit 1
    Semaphore oddSemaphore = new Semaphore(1);
    //Initialize evenSempahore with permit 0
    Semaphore evenSempahore = new Semaphore(0);
    OddThread oddThread = new OddThread(oddSemaphore, evenSempahore);
    EvenThread evenThread = new EvenThread(evenSempahore, oddSemaphore);
    oddThread.start();
    evenThread.start();
    }
}

Simple Solution below:-

package com.test;

class MyThread implements Runnable{

    @Override
    public void run() {
        int i=1;
        while(true) {
            String name=Thread.currentThread().getName();
            if(name.equals("task1") && i%2!=0) {
                System.out.println(name+"::::"+i);
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }else if(name.equals("task2") && i%2==0){
                System.out.println(name+"::::"+i);
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            i++;
        }

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        MyThread task1=new MyThread();
        MyThread task2=new MyThread();

        Thread t1=new Thread(task1,"task1");
        Thread t2=new Thread(task2,"task2");

        t1.start();
        t2.start();

    }

}
