������14.public class Syntest
public static void main(String []args)
final StringBuffer s1=new StringBuffer();
final StringBuffer s2=new StringBuffer();
new Thread()
public void run()
synchronized(s1)
s1.append("a");
synchronized("b")
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
.start();//not error
new Thread()
public void run()
synchronized(s2)
s2.append("c");
synchronized(s1)
s1.append("d");
System.out.println(s2);
System.out.println(s1);

.start();

output?
a)print ABBCAD
b)print CDDACB
c)print ADCBADBC
d)The output is a not-deterministic point because of a
possible deadlock condition
e)The output is dependent on the threading model of
the ysstem the program is running on.

i think ansewr is d and e,since there is possibility of dead lock.

Kevin, is this how the question appears? (No indents, no braces?) Without braces, how can we figure this out?

is not the same as

//program1
public class ThreadTest {
public static void main(String []args) {
final StringBuffer s1=new StringBuffer();
final StringBuffer s2=new StringBuffer();
new Thread() { //anynomous class
public void run() {
synchronized(s1) {
s1.append("a");
}
synchronized(s2) {
s2.append("b");
}
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
}
}.start();

new Thread() {//anynomous class
public void run() {
synchronized(s2) {
s2.append("c");
}
synchronized(s1) {
s1.append("d");
}
System.out.println(s2);
System.out.println(s1);
}
}.start();
}
}
For program1, deadlock will never happen, but the output is dependent on the threading model of the sysstem the program is running on.
//program2
public class ThreadTest{
public static void main(String []args) {
final StringBuffer s1=new StringBuffer();
final StringBuffer s2=new StringBuffer();
new Thread() {
public void run() {
synchronized(s1) {
s1.append("a");
synchronized(s2) {
s2.append("b");
}
}
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
}
}.start();

new Thread() {
public void run() {
synchronized(s2) {
s2.append("c");
synchronized(s1) {
s1.append("d");
}
}
System.out.println(s2);
System.out.println(s1);
}
}.start();
}
}
For program2, the output is a not-deterministic point because of a possible deadlock condition although it run well on my machine.
output:
a
b
bc
ad
Scott, am I right?

Bin, I think you've nailed it. Modify the second program so that new Threads are continuously created (possibly with varying delays between creations) and you will likely reach deadlock sooner or later. The first program in your post shouldn't become deadlocked.
The output of neither program is predictable.
