Ornamental Garden
Problem
A large ornamental
garden is open to members of the public who can enter through either one of
two turnstiles to the East and to the West of the garden. The management want
to determine how many people are in the garden at any one time. They design
a computer system to do this. In the program produced, each turnstile is represented
by a thread and updates a shared Counter object.
Garden.java
NumberCanvas.java
This
version does not work correctly as can be observed, increments to the Counter
are lost so that the total number of people in the garden is not the sum of
the people who entered through the turnstiles. Click on the checkbox to rerun
using a counter with mutually exclusive access.
