concurrent programming

[abc]

Hi all,

need a java code for three process concurrent program to find the mean of n numbers,
if anyone knos, please rply

thnks

[Norm]

Is there a java code store near you that you could but one of these from?

Or are you asking help to write one? In which case, tell us about the problems you are having.

yeah, need a help to write one

[helloworld922]

what code/thoughts do you have so far?

If you're not sure where to start, Lord.Quackstar's post has a link to a fairly good tutorial on Java concurrent programming.

Hi All,

still cudn't find or write a code ....can we do concurrent programming using threads?

Did you even read the guide that I showed you? We can't do this for you, you have to read it yourself. Go through each topic, reading and understanding the code. Don't just stop there, you also need to read the topics on locking and synchronization. Threading is hard and complex, and you must understand all of it if your going to do any type of debugging in the future. Once again:

And a little side note that I don't think the guide mentions: If your going to be using a Swing GUI, you need to do threading if you want your GUI to respond to your commands. Take a look at Improve Application Performance With SwingWorker in Java SE 6

the output of this code seems kind of mess..anyone guess what is the wrong with this code

[Norm]

output of this code seems kind of mess

Can you post the output and explain what is wrong with it?
And explain what you want the output to be.

[Faz]

Is there a java code store near you that you could buy one of these from?

Haha classic line.

But yeah we need a bit more then "a mess" tell us what's happening maybe try to do some of your own debugging with println statements to see what is happening in what order.
