How thread is created in java? Explain the different states of a thread. Write a program which will display your name in one thread and your address in another thread in every 500 milliseconds. There should be 10000 iteration.

 In Java, there are two ways to create threads:

  • By implementing the Runnable interface and passing it to a Thread constructor.
  • By extending the Thread class and overriding the run() method.

The different states of a thread in Java are:

  1. New: When a thread is created but not yet started, it is in the new state.
  2. Runnable: When a thread is started, it enters the runnable state. In this state, it is ready to run but may not be currently executing.
  3. Running: When the thread is executing its code, it is in the running state.
  4. Blocked: When a thread is waiting for a resource or lock to become available, it enters the blocked state.
  5. Waiting: When a thread is waiting for another thread to perform a certain action, it enters the waiting state.
  6. Timed Waiting: When a thread is waiting for a certain amount of time, it enters the timed waiting state.

Here is an example program that displays your name and address in separate threads every 500 milliseconds, for 10000 iterations:

class MyThread extends Thread {
   private String message;
   public MyThread(String message) {
      this.message = message;
   }
   public void run() {
      try {
         for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++) {
            System.out.println(message);
            Thread.sleep(500);
         }
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}
public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      MyThread thread1 = new MyThread("My name is John Doe.");
      MyThread thread2 = new MyThread("My address is 123 Main Street.");
      thread1.start();
      thread2.start();
   }
}

In this program, we create a MyThread class that extends the Thread class and overrides its run() method to display a message repeatedly every 500 milliseconds for 10000 iterations. We then create two objects of MyThread class with different messages and start both threads using the start() method. The output of the program will be interleaved messages from both threads.

Write a program using the algorithm count() to count how many elements in a container have a specified value.

 Here's an example program using the count() algorithm to count the number of occurrences of a specific value in a vector container: #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() {     vector<int> numbers = { 2, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 1, 5, 4 };          // count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the vector     int count = count(numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), 5);          cout << "The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: " << count << endl;          return 0; } Output: The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: 3 Explanation: The program starts by creating a vector named numbers that contains several integer values. The count() algorithm is used to count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the numbers vector. The function takes three arguments: the beginning and end iterators of...

What are Stub and Skeleton in Distributed Application? Explain its function with block diagram.

 Stub and Skeleton are two important components of distributed applications. A distributed application is a software system that runs on multiple computers connected through a network. It allows users to access resources and services on different computers as if they were on a local computer. In a distributed application, a client program on one computer sends a request to a server program on another computer. The server program processes the request and sends a response back to the client program. Stub and Skeleton help to facilitate this communication between the client and server programs. A Stub is a client-side proxy that represents the remote object on the client machine. It acts as a gateway for the client to communicate with the server. When a client invokes a method on the Stub, it marshals the arguments and sends them to the server over the network. The Stub then waits for the server to send a response. When the response is received, the Stub unmarshals the data and retur...

Write short notes on 1. polymorphism 2. applet vs Application 3. Marshalling and unmarshalling

 1. Polymorphism: Polymorphism is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that refers to the ability of an object to take on multiple forms. In Java, polymorphism can be achieved through method overloading and method overriding. Method overloading means that multiple methods can have the same name but different parameters. Method overriding means that a subclass can provide a different implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. Polymorphism allows for more flexible and modular code design, as objects can be treated as their superclass type, allowing for easier code reuse and maintenance. 2. Applet vs Application: An applet is a small program that runs within a web browser. It is written in Java and can be embedded into a web page using HTML. Applets are designed to be run on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed, making them platform-independent. In contrast, an application is a standalone program that runs on a computer's operat...
