Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a multithreaded application where a boolean global variable controls a thread's execution. Design a simple code snippet that demonstrates both visibility issues and fixes using volatile.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how the variable interacts with multiple threads.

Question 2

Write a scenario involving two threads that demonstrate a race condition due to improper visibility practices and suggest a solution.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how simultaneous access could lead to errors.
