ExtBasic 14

[XORMeBaby]

Yes, Googleing "Java + [certain thing]" was all I needed.

This challenge made me want to learn Java.

Wow, very cool to learn about this issue. I was actually having a problem exactly like this in one of my java programs a while back, but never linked it to this.

Hi, i found the fix and test it in eclipse environment and it works perfectly fine!!
but i don t know how to submit it. Everyone posted to submit just one line but isn't actually a block that needs to be entered??
I tried submitting the entire block in online but it didn't work
Could someone tell me how to submit it? even pm if you don't want to spoiler is fine with me
Thank you!!


Edit!!!
nevermind i see know... there is another way to solve it and the ExtBasic14 wanted this one.... i passed now!!!

This challenge is simple once you do a little googling.

If you are having trouble read this it helped me a lot: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/sync.html

That is EXTREMELY useful stuff. Thanks a LOT jackson, really helped me.

The rest of the links helped me too, but that one was like a trigger. Simple way to explain things. Thanks again

Well, I got the answer....

However, I also believe I have a secondary solution that met the conditions of the challenge just fine, except not as efficient.

After setting MAX to 10 billion for testing, the accepted solution took ~15 seconds to iterate while another one-line solution still solved the problem, however it took the same iteration ~40 seconds to complete.


Perhaps the mission should state something about efficiency?

Mind you, I guess all programmers strive for efficiency so....

Cool, learned something new today

Am I allowed to post the one-line solution I found that doesn't solve this mission (but still solves it) to drum up some conversation?

got this one. here's a tip, leave variable declarations alone. you can fix the code by using another kinda thread pool, but that's not what the question is looking for. there's a more elegant way to do it.
