CSCI 5828 — Homework 3 — Fall 2015

In this repository, you will find the two versions of the broken producer-consumer program that is associated with Homework 3 for Prof. Anderson's CSCI 5828 class at the University of Colorado Boulder for the Fall 2015 semester.

Each of the broken directories has a README file that explains how to compile and run the code in that directory.

Your goal is to create a new version of the program that:

• fixes the program so that it runs correctly
  • you may only modify the following files
    1. Consumer.java
    2. Producer.java
    3. ProductionLine.java
  • you may not modify the following files
    1. Main.java
    2. Monitor.java
    3. Product.java

You may certainly add println statements to this program to debug it. But, do not mess with the original println statements that appear in the program and remove any additional println statements that you added to the program before you submit it.

• You are done when the following things are true of your new program
  1. The program exits cleanly to the command prompt.
  • That is, all threads shut down cleanly at the end of your program.
  2. Your program's output file finishes by printing out the numbers 0 to 199 inclusive. There can be no gaps in the numbers that are printed out.

This repository contains an example of the output produced by a correctly fixed version of this program.
