Java Multithreading Interesting Query

[forumuser11@gmail.com]

Suppose, I want to print numbers in following format starting from 1 to 1,00,00,000.. with a step of 0.001

1
1.001
1.002
1.003
1.004
......
......
....
9999999.999
10000000

This is time consuming operation. How one can use multithreading?

I doubt multithreading will help, as your real bottleneck is most likely the writing to the screen. On top of that, you'd have to synchronize the threads to print the numbers in the proper order, which would serialize the threads anyhow.

To add what MrViggy stated, it will be difficult to generate that sequence if your loop counting relies on floating point, since floating point is not accurate. You will get skips in the generated sequence (0.001 cannot be represented as an exact binary floating point value).

Write a simple loop without any threads -- don't be surprised if you discover that numbers are missing from your output, all due to floating point inaccuracies.
