Paper For Above instruction

The assignment involves creating two Java classes with specific functionalities and threading behaviors, followed by testing using multithreading and executor services.

Introduction

This paper discusses the development of two Java classes, AccountSavings and Person>, each demonstrating different aspects of multithreading, object-oriented programming, and proper coding practices. The implementation aligns with specified constraints such as using only learned techniques, avoiding code duplication, and ensuring clear documentation through comments.

Part 1: Implementing the AccountSavings Class

The AccountSavings class is designed to simulate a savings account with an adjustable interest rate and a balance that updates through monthly interest calculations. The core features include:

  • Two instance variables: one for the annual interest rate (set at 5.3%) and one for the savings balance (initially 100 dollars).
  • A method to compute monthly interest, which updates the savings balance based on the current interest rate.
  • A method to create and run two threads using anonymous classes. The first thread applies monthly interest calculations 12 times, displays the balance after 12 months, sleeps for 5 seconds, and then terminates. The second thread performs the same calculations and displays the final balance. Both threads must complete before the program ends.
  • Correct synchronization to ensure that the main thread waits for both threading processes to finish, preventing premature termination.
  • Main method integration: to instantiate the class, run threads, and display the final savings balance (which should be unaffected by the interest calculations).

Part 2: Developing the Person Class and Executor Service Testing

The second segment involves creating a Person class with a constructor and thread behavior, along with a testing class employing executor services:

  • The Person class contains first name and last name attributes, with a constructor to initialize them.
  • It implements the Runnable interface, with its run method displaying a message when the person starts working, sleeping for 5 seconds, then displaying a completion message.
  • The PersonTest class uses an executor service with a thread pool size of 3.
  • Four Person tasks are submitted to this thread pool; the main thread displays when tasks are submitted and when all are completed.
  • Proper management of executor lifecycle: shutdown and awaiting termination to ensure all tasks finish before the program ends.

Implementation Considerations

In the implementation, adherence to instructions is critical: techniques used should be among those learned so far, comments must be clear and brief, and no external code snippets are accepted. Components should be instantiated and operated without drag-and-drop, with proper thread synchronization, safe thread termination, and resource management.

Conclusion

This assignment exemplifies core Java multithreading and object-oriented principles, emphasizing correct thread management, proper use of anonymous classes, executor services, and clean, well-commented code. The functionalities implemented fulfill the specified behaviors: interest calculations, threading, and task execution, demonstrating proficiency in Java concurrency and class design.
