notifyAll

I wanted to write a program about notifyAll:

Code:

---

 



public class Main {
   
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
   
   
        public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
        distanceshow d=new distanceshow();
     
               
        Thread thread1 = new Thread(d);
        Thread thread2 = new Thread(d);
        Thread thread3 = new Thread(d);
        thread1.start();
        thread2.start();
        thread3.start();
    }
   
}

---

Code:

---

  public class distanceshow implements Runnable  {
   
    /** Creates a new instance of distanceshow */
  int i;
  int d;
   
    public static int distance=100;
 
      public void run()
            {
        if(i<3){
          i++;
          System.out.println(" Runner number" +'\t' + i +'\t'+"is ready");
          try{
                wait ();
              }
        catch (InterruptedException e) { }
        } else if(i==3){
               
            notifyAll();   
            System.out.println(" START");
            for ( i=100;i<=400;i+=100){
                System.out.println("distance="+ i );
            }
               
               
            }
   
      }
}

The goal of this program is :

we have three runners , when they are ready for run ,

We must print :

Runner number 1 is ready
Runner number 2 is ready
Runner number 3 is ready

START

after that, I want this program shows something like this:

Runner number 1 distance is 100
Runner number 3 distance is 200
Runner number 2 distance is 300
Runner number 4 distance is 400

Runner number 4 wins!


But, I have problmes :

1-When I compile this , These errors shows:


compile:
run:
Runner number 2 is ready
Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
Runner number 1 is ready
at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
Runner number 3 is ready

at notifyalltest.distanceshow.run(distanceshow.java:29)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)


why?

2-

in order to print this part, Which way do you suggest?

Runner number 1 distance is 100
Runner number 3 distance is 200
Runner number 2 distance is 300
Runner number 4 distance is 400

Runner number 4 wins!

When all else fails read the documentation.

Code:

---

 
notifyAll();   
            System.out.println(" START");
            for ( i=100;i<=400;i+=100){
                System.out.println("distance="+ i );
            }

---

This is the way that I want this program works:


After notifyAll(),I want to run this loop:

Code:

---

for ( i=100;i<=400;i+=100){
                System.out.println("distance="+ i );
            }

In other words , I want print out that every hundred meters, Which runners is in front.

The idea behind this is:

Because we are dealing with threads , we can'nt predict which thread run this loop,In other words , after print a line like this:

Runner number 1 distance is 100
Runner number 3distance is 100
Runner number 2 distance is 100



I want for example another thread run this loop and print this:

Runner number 3 distance is 200
Runner number 2 distance is 200
Runner number 1 distance is 200



until the 400,The last thread that run this is winner:

for example :

Runner number 2 wins!

I do'nnt know how can I do this in JAVA,Please guide me how to write code for that?
