Multithreading in Java is a process of executing two or more threads simultaneously to maximum utilization of CPU. Multithreaded applications execute two or more threads run concurrently. Hence, it is also known as Concurrency in Java. Each thread runs parallel to each other. Multiple threads don’t allocate separate memory areas, hence they save memory.
Problem Statement: Write a two-threaded program, where one thread finds all prime numbers (in 0 to 100) and another thread finds all palindrome numbers (in 10 to 1000). Schedule these threads in a sequential manner to get the results. Now reschedule them as parallel threads.
Solution:
1. Two threads initiated, one thread to print prime numbers and another to print palindrome numbers
2. Algorithm to print prime numbers :
START
Step 1 → Take integer variable A
Step 2 → Divide the variable A with (A-1 to 2)
Step 3 → If A is divisible by any value (A-1 to 2) it is not prime
Step 4 → Else it is prime
STOP
3. Algorithm to print palindrome number
START
Step 1 → Get the number from user
Step 2 → Hold the number in temporary variable
Step 3 → Reverse the number
Step 4 → Compare the temporary number with reversed number
Step 5 → If both numbers are same, print.
Stop
How synchronization block works :
thread 1, thread 2, thread 3 ---> synchronization ---> thread 1
thread 2,thread 3 ---> synchronization ---> thread 2
