Guess what interviewer asking was three threads do the work in sequence.For example if one thread prints 1,4,5...second 2,5,8 and thirds 3,6,9 etc..ur output should be 1,2,3,4,5..... Ist thread prints 1 and gives chance to 2nd thread to print 2..etc.,
I tried it using cyclebarriers.As soon as 'one' prints 1it gives chance to two as it calls cb.wait,when two runs it will in turn call three in similar fashion and it will continue.Let me know if thr are any bugs in the code
import java.util.concurrent.BrokenBarrierException;
import java.util.concurrent.CyclicBarrier;
class one implements Runnable{
CyclicBarrier cb;
one(CyclicBarrier cb){this.cb=cb;}
public void run(){
int i=1;
while(true)
{
System.out.println(i);
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
cb.await();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (BrokenBarrierException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
i=i+3;
}
}
}
class two implements Runnable{
CyclicBarrier cb;
int i=2;
two(CyclicBarrier cb){this.cb=cb;}
public void run(){
System.out.println(i);
try {
cb.await();
i=i+3;
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
