3. private static Object resource = new Object();
4.
5. private static void delay(long n) {
6. try { Thread.sleep(n); }
7. catch (Exception e) { System.out.print(”Error “); }
8. }

10. public static void main(String[] args) {
11. System.out.print(”StartMain “);
12. new Thread1().start();
13. delay(1000);
14. Thread t2 = new Thread2();
15. t2.start();
16. delay(1000);
17. t2.interrupt
18. delay(1000);
19. System.out.print(”EndMain “);
20. }
21.
22. static class Thread 1 extends Thread {
23. public void run() {
24. synchronized (resource) {
25. System.out.print(”Startl “);
26. delay(6000);
27. System.out.print(”End1 “);
28. }
29. }
30. }
31.
32. static class Thread2 extends Thread {
33. public void run() {
34. synchronized (resource) {
35. System.out.print(”Start2 “);

36. delay(2000);
37. System.out.print(”End2 “);
38. }
39. }
40. }
41. }
Assume that sleep(n) executes in exactly m milliseconds, and all other
code executes in an insignificant amount of time. What is the output if
the main() method is run?
A. Compilation fails.
B. Deadlock occurs.
C. StartMain Start1 Error EndMain End1
D. StartMain Start1 EndMain End1 Start2 End2
E. StartMain Start1 Error Start2 EndMain End2 End1
F. StartMain Start1 Start2 Error End2 EndMain End1
G. StartMain Start1 EndMain End1 Start2 Error End2

Answer: G

10. public class Transfers {
11. public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
12. Record r1 = new Record();
13. Record r2 = new Record();
14. doTransfer(r1, r2, 5);
15. doTransfer(r2, r1, 2);
16. doTransfer(r1, r2, 1);
17. // print the result
18. System.out.println(”rl = “ + r1.get() +“, r2=” + r2.get());
19. }
20. private static void doTransfer(
21. final Record a, final Record b, final int amount) {
22. Thread t = new Thread() {
23. public void run() {
24. new Clerk().transfer(a, b, amount);
25. }
26. };
27. t.start();
28. }
29. }
30. class Clerk {
31. public synchronized void transfer(Record a, Record b, int amount){
32. synchronized (a) {
33. synchronized (b) {
34. a.add(-amount);
35. b.add(amount);
36. }
37. }
38. }
39. }
40. class Record {
41.int num=10;
42. public int get() { return num; }
43. public void add(int n) { num = num + n; }
44. }
If Transfers.main() is run, which three are true? (Choose three.)
A. The output may be “r1 = 6, r2 = 14”.
B. The output may be “r1 = 5, r2 = 15”.
C. The output may be “r1 = 8, r2 = 12”.
D. The code may run (and complete) with no output.
E. The code may deadlock (without completing) with no output.
F. M IllegalStateException or InterruptedException may be thrown at
runtime.
Answer: ABE

28. Given:
public class Messager implements Runnable {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new Messager("Wallace")).start();
new Thread(new Messager("Gromit")).start();
}
private String name;
public Messager(String name) { this.name = name; }
public void run() {
message(1); message(2);
}
private synchronized void message(int n) {
System.out.print(name + "-" + n + " ");
}
}
Which of the following is a possible result? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Wallace-1 Wallace-2 Gromit-1
B. Wallace-1 Gromit-2 Wallace-2 Gromit-1
C. Wallace-1 Gromit-1 Gromit-2 Wallace-2
D. Gromit-1 Gromit-2
E. Gromit-2 Wallace-1 Gromit-1 Wallace-2
F. The code does not compile.
G. An error occurs at run time.
Answer:
->  C is correct. Both threads will print two messages each. Wallace-1 must be before Wallace-2, and Gromit-1 must be before Gromit-2. Other than that, the Wallace and Gromit messages can be intermingled in any order.
->  A, B, D, E, F, and G are incorrect based on the above. (Objective 4.1)
