Java variable or Java identifier

public class JavaIdentifiers {
      
/*     A name in a java Program is called an Identifier.Which can be used for representing classes,methods , variables and labels.
       Rules:
       1.Java Identifier is composed of a sequence of characters,
             Which each character may be a letter from a to z or A to Z or digit from 0 to 9 or currency symbol ($) or connecting symbol (_). i.e only a-z,A-Z,0-9,$ and _ 
If we use other character we will get compile time error saying illegal character.
       2.No identifier starts with the digit.
       3.There is no length limit for java identifier ,but SUN highly recommended up to 15 characters .
       4.Identifier in java are case sensitive.
       5.we are not allowed to use reserved words as identifier.
       6.All predefined java class and interface names ,you are allowed to use as identifiers.*/

Will be converted to the user's time zone. 20090514T180000 Event start time in user's local time 20090514 Event start time for an all day event. DUR value is ignored if this form is used. DUR 0200 Duration of the event. Format is HHMM, zero-padded. MM may range up to 99, and is converted into hours appropriately. HH values over 24 hours appear to be modulated by 24. Durations t...

Producer Consumer Design Pattern By using wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods

Producer Consumer Problem is a classical concurrency problem. In fact it is one of the concurrency design pattern .   Producer Consumer Design Patter can either be implemented using following two approaces. By using wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods By using BlockingQueue  In this post I will explain implementation using wait() and notify() method. If you are interested in the implementation using Blocking Queue, you can check my post  Producer Consumer Design Pattern using BlockingQueue . The Object class in java contains three final methods that allows threads to communicate about the lock status of a resource. These methods are wait() , notify() and notifyAll() .  We can use  wait() method to pause execution of thread. notify() and notifyAll() methods are used to wake up waiting th...
