Java multi-threading to achieve simultaneous output

A classic interview question: Two threads print AB respectively. Thread A prints A and thread B prints B. Each prints 10 times to make it appear ABABABABA..

package com.shangshe.path;
 
public class ThreadAB {
 
  /**
  * @param args
  */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     
    final Print business = new Print();
     
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {
          business.print_A();
        }
      }
    }).start();
     
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {
          business.print_B();
        }
      }
    }).start();
     
  }
}
class Print {
   
  private boolean flag = true;
   
  public synchronized void print_A () {
    while(!flag) {
      try {
        this.wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    System.out.print("A");
    flag = false;
    this.notify();
  }
   
  public synchronized void print_B () {
    while(flag) {
      try {
        this.wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    System.out.print("B");
    flag = true;
    this.notify();
  }
}

From the above For example, we can design a program with 3 threads or even n threads. The example given below is 3 threads, printing A, B, C 10 times respectively, so that the effect of ABCABC.. appears

public class ThreadABC {
 
  /**
   * @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     
    final Print business = new Print();
     
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        for(int i=0;i<100;i++) {
          business.print_A();
        }
      }
    }).start();
     
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        for(int i=0;i<100;i++) {
          business.print_B();
        }
      }
    }).start();
     
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        for(int i=0;i<100;i++) {
          business.print_C();
        }
      }
    }).start();
     
  }
}
class Print {
   
  private boolean should_a = true;
  private boolean should_b = false;
  private boolean should_c = false;
   
  public synchronized void print_A () {
    while(should_b || should_c) {
      try {
        this.wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    System.out.print("A");
    should_a = false;
    should_b = true;
    should_c = false;
    this.notifyAll();
  }
   
  public synchronized void print_B () {
    while(should_a || should_c) {
      try {
        this.wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    System.out.print("B");
    should_a = false;
    should_b = false;
    should_c = true;
    this.notifyAll();
  }
   
  public synchronized void print_C () {
    while(should_a || should_b) {
      try {
        this.wait();
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
    System.out.print("C");
    should_a = true;
    should_b = false;
    should_c = false;
    this.notifyAll();
  }
}

Once again proves the importance of software engineering; in multi-threaded programs, it should be said that in programs, we should put those business logic codes into the same class to make them high cohesion and low coupling
