There is, at most, one guy around to clean him up, resurrect him, ignore him and let someone else figure it out, or just ignore him altogether. We can literally just pretend that nothing bad actually happened.
Com> Concurrency This is all that other stuff, also known as life. It’s the act of an application, which has many dependent or independent algorithms, running through multiple threads of execution simultaneously. The easiest example is that of a web service, such as Twitter. Twitter is highly event driven, taking in tweets from millions of concurrent users as well as events from its own internal systems. All of this stuff happens concurrently. These aren’t strict definitions and there are as many people that would disagree with them as would agree with them.
As the requirements grow and the audience increases, you pile on the code and the features. The day you need to switch from sequential programming to concurrent programming, all hell breaks loose. first; } public void setFirstName(String s) { Download from Wow! last = s; } } you’ve really missed out. 2 Chapter 2 · Concurrency and Parallelism A few months or a year goes by and you get to the point where you have a few threads. Everything’s cool until you start to see some weird stuff happening with your output.
