Program 7:
Create a Java program to illustrates multithreaded programming with synchronized blocks, creating and running multiple threads using isAlive()
, and join()
:
java
// This program uses a synchronized block.
class Callme {
void call(String msg) {
System.out.print("[" + msg);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Interrupted");
}
System.out.println("]");
}
}
class Caller implements Runnable {
String msg;
Callme target;
Thread t;
public Caller(Callme targ, String s) {
target = targ;
msg = s;
t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
}
// Synchronize calls to call()
public void run() {
synchronized (target) { // synchronized block
target.call(msg);
}
}
}
public class Synch1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Callme target = new Callme();
Caller ob1 = new Caller(target, "Hello");
Caller ob2 = new Caller(target, "Synchronized");
Caller ob3 = new Caller(target, "World");
System.out.println("ob1 is alive: " + ob1.t.isAlive());
System.out.println("ob2 is alive: " + ob2.t.isAlive());
System.out.println("ob3 is alive: " + ob3.t.isAlive());
// Wait for threads to end
try {
ob1.t.join();
ob2.t.join();
ob3.t.join();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Interrupted");
}
System.out.println("ob1 is alive after join: " + ob1.t.isAlive());
System.out.println("ob2 is alive after join: " + ob2.t.isAlive());
System.out.println("ob3 is alive after join: " + ob3.t.isAlive());
}
}
Multithreading: Each
Caller
runs in its own thread.Synchronization: Ensures only one thread accesses
call()
at a time using a synchronized block.Thread lifecycle monitoring: Uses
isAlive()
andjoin()
to manage and observe threads.
