Question 1

What is a visibility problem in multithreading?

  • One thread can access memory of another thread
  • A thread does not see an updated variable
  • Two threads execute in the opposite order

💡 Hint: Think about how threads view shared data.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a multithreaded Java program with a visibility problem, and then modify it to use volatile to solve the issue.

💡 Hint: Make sure you test the initial implementation to observe the issue before applying `volatile`.

Question 2

Given a scenario with multiple threads updating and reading a resource, detail a plan to implement proper synchronization to avoid visibility issues.

💡 Hint: Consider the crucial operations that must be atomic and visible.
