Suppose you are given the following code:
class ZeroEvenOdd { public ZeroEvenOdd(int n) { ... } // constructor public void zero(printNumber) { ... } // only output 0's public void even(printNumber) { ... } // only output even numbers public void odd(printNumber) { ... } // only output odd numbers }
The same instance of ZeroEvenOdd
will be passed to three different threads:
- Thread A will call
zero()
which should only output 0’s. - Thread B will call
even()
which should only ouput even numbers. - Thread C will call
odd()
which should only output odd numbers.
Each of the thread is given a printNumber
method to output an integer. Modify the given program to output the series 010203040506
… where the length of the series must be 2n.
Example 1:
Input: n = 2 Output: "0102" Explanation: There are three threads being fired asynchronously. One of them calls zero(), the other calls even(), and the last one calls odd(). "0102" is the correct output.
Example 2:
Input: n = 5 Output: "0102030405"
Solution: Mutex
