What is the issue with this Producer Consumer Problem. Can you fix it.

public class ProducerConsumerProb {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Container container = new Container();
		Turn turn = Turn.PRODUCER;
		Producer p = new Producer(container, turn);
		Consumer c = new Consumer(container, turn);
		Thread pro = new Thread(p);
		Thread con = new Thread(c);
		pro.start();
		con.start();
	}

	public static class Producer implements Runnable{
		Container container;
		Turn turn;
		public Producer(Container integer,Turn turn) {
			this.container = integer;
			this.turn = turn;
		}
		
		@Override

			for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
				Turn temp = null;
				while(true){
					synchronized (turn) {
						temp = turn;

There are hierarchy of class like super class and sub class. Yo have to make sure only one object can be create for any class using new keyword. How you implement the class.

find the sum of bit wise OR of minimum and Maximum element of all the subsets whose length is greater than 2 of the given of set.

for ex:-

{1,2,3} is set
then possible subsets of length is{ 1,2},{1,3},{2,3}{1,2,3} answer 1|2 +1|3 +2|3 +1|3=12

Calculate smallest number of letters removed to make remaining word lexicographical?


I am looking for a solution to the following problem from a coding test.

> write a program in Java to Calculate the smallest number of letters that must be removed in order for the letters of the remaining word to be sorted in lexicographical order (abcde…wxyz).
>

e.g. For example given “banana” the function should return 3 because we can remove three letters (the first 3rd and 6th) to get the word “aan” which is sorted. Please note that it is not possible to be remove fewer than three letters

But I'm supposed to find the answer in o(n). Also my answer is failing for the input string "iardiaaznaai"


public int getSmallestNoletters(String[] args) {
String longestSubString = "s";
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
StringBuilder sbuStr = new StringBuilder();
sbuStr.append(str.charAt(i));
for (int j = i + 1; j < str.length(); j++) {
System.out.println("1: " + sbuStr);
if (sbuStr.charAt(sbuStr.length() - 1) <= str.charAt(j)) {
sbuStr.append(str.charAt(j));
System.out.println(sbuStr);
} else if (sbuStr.length() > 1 && sbuStr.charAt(sbuStr.length() - 2) <= str.charAt(j)) {
sbuStr.deleteCharAt(sbuStr.length() - 1);
sbuStr.append(str.charAt(j));
}
}
if (sbuStr.length() > longestSubString.length())
longestSubString = sbuStr.toString();
}
int ans = str.length() - longestSubString.length();
System.out.println("Ans: " + ans);
return ans;
}

Let’s say you have two input arrays with sorted elements. Find the union.

a[] = {2, 10, 14, 19, 51, 71}
b[] = {2, 9, 19, 40, 51}

Union = {2, 9, 10, 14, 19, 40, 51}

why we have a such long number value for object's hashcode in java.can we not have any small numbers or why java is giving that much large number for any object hash code ?

List<Integer> list=Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5,6);
Iterator it=list.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
System.out.println(it.next());
}
The above code will iterate sequentially through 1 to 6. Can we iterate the same list alternatively so that it will print 1,3,5 without changing the while loop.

Given a number, rearrange the digits of that number to make a higher number, among all such permutations that are greater,one of them is the smallest, Find the smallest greater permutation (the next Permutation).

Examples:
next_permutation (12) = 21
next_permutation (315) = 351
next_permutation (583) = 835
next_permutation (12389) = 12398
next_permutation (34722641) = 34724126

Problem:

Insert + or – sign anywhere between the digits 123456789 in such a way that the expression evaluates to 100. The condition is that the order of the digits must not be changed.

e.g.: 1 + 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 + 6 + 78 + 9 = 100

I have below C solution - Can you please help me to convert to Java. I need this solution in Java.


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int findnumber(int i,int j)
{
int k;
int n;
for(k = 0; k < j; k++)
{
n = i % 3;
i = i / 3;
}
return n;
}
void main()
{
int i, j, k, current, result, operation;
clrscr();
for(i = 0; i < 19683; i++)
{
if(i%3 == 0)
continue;
current = 0;
result = 0;
for(j = 1; j < 10; j++)
{
k = findnumber(i,j);
if(k==0)
{
current = current * 10 + j;
}
else
{
result = result + (operation == 1 ? current : -current);
current = j;
operation = k;
}
}
result = result + (operation == 1 ? current : -current);
if(result == 100)
{
for(j = 1; j < 10; j++)
{
k = findnumber(i,j);
if(k==0)
printf("%d",j);
else
printf("%c%d",k==1?'+':'-',j);
}
printf("\n");
}
}
getch();

### Problem 3: Theatre Seating

You run a small theater and each month, you have patrons mail in requests for pre-sale tickets. You need to process these ticket requests and either tell them where their party will sit or explain to the patron why you can't complete their order.

You have a few rules that you need to follow when you fill the orders:
1. Fill as many orders as possible
2. Put parties as close to the front as possible.
3. If there are not enough seats available in the theater to handle a party, tell them "Sorry, we can't handle your party."
4. Each party must sit in a single row in a single section. If they won't fit, tell them "Call to split party".

Your program must parse a theater layout and a list of ticket requests and produce a list of tickets or explanations in the same order as the requests.

The theater layout is made up of 1 or more rows. Each row is made up of 1 or more sections separated by a space.

After the theater layout, there is one empty line, followed by 1 or more theater requests. The theater request is made up of a name followed by a space and the number of requested tickets.


Sample input:
```
6 6
3 5 5 3
4 6 6 4
2 8 8 2
6 6

Smith 2
Jones 5
Davis 6
Wilson 100
Johnson 3
Williams 4
Brown 8
Miller 12
```

Your program must produce results to standard output in the same order as the requests, with the name of the person who requested the ticket and either the row and section of the ticket or the explanations "Sorry, we can't handle your party" or "Call to split party."


Sample output:

```
Smith Row 1 Section 1
Jones Row 2 Section 2
Davis Row 1 Section 2
Wilson Sorry, we can't handle your party.
Johnson Row 2 Section 1
Williams Row 1 Section 1
Brown Row 4 Section 2
Miller Call to split party.

Write a program that controls the traffic signals for a four-way intersection. Initially, we consider traffic flowing in straight lines only, no turns. The four directions are S(outhbound) and N(orthbound) on Snell Rd; and W(estbound) and E(astbound) on Weaver Rd. The traffic lights should obey the following rules:

1. Cars arrive in each direction on both roads (Snell and Weaver) at the rate of 1 car per second. That is, 4 cars approach the intersection each second.

2. Only one road (Snell or Weaver) can have a "green" light at one time.

3. It is acceptable for both roads to have the "red" light at the same time. Of course, traffic backs up on both roads if this happens.

4. Start by turning on the traffic on Snell Rd "green" in both directions for 3 seconds; then turn it "red" for one second; then turn Weaver "green" for 3 seconds; and then red for one second.

5. When the light turns from red to green at any intersection, it takes the first car 2 seconds to start moving and cross the intersection. Subsequent cars take 1 second each.

6. At the instant the light turns from "green" to "red", a car may not start moving to cross the intersection; whether that car just arrived at the intersection or was waiting at that intersection.

7. The output should be the number of cars that are waiting at the intersection in each direction at each second, for the first 20 seconds. Do not make the program wait 20 seconds to produce the output: this is only a simulation, so print the output when it's ready.

8. Expected output
```
0: N = 0; S = 0; E = 0; W = 0
1: N = 0; S = 0; E = 1; W = 1
2: N = 0; S = 0; E = 2; W = 2
3: N = 0; S = 0; E = 3; W = 3
4: N = 1; S = 1; E = 4; W = 4
5: N = 2; S = 2; E = 5; W = 5
6: N = 3; S = 3; E = 5; W = 5
7: N = 4; S = 4; E = 5; W = 5
8: N = 5; S = 5; E = 6; W = 6
```

Denver International Airport has decided to give an automated baggage system another shot. The hardware and tracking systems from the previous attempt are still in place, they just need a system to route the baggage. The system will route baggage checked, connecting, and terminating in Denver.
You have been asked to implement a system that will route bags to their flights or the proper baggage claim. The input describes the airport conveyor system, the departing flights, and the bags to be routed. The output is the optimal routing to get bags to their destinations. Bags with a flight id of “ARRIVAL” are terminating in Denver are routed to Baggage Claim.
Input: The input consists of several sections. The beginning of each section is marked by a line starting: “# Section:” ``` Section 1: A weighted bi-directional graph describing the conveyor system. Format: <Node 1> <Node 2> <travel_time>
Section 2: Departure list Format: <flightid> <flightgate> <destination> <flighttime> Section 3: Bag list Format: <bagnumber> <entrypoint> <flightid> ```
Output: The optimized route for each bag `
The output should be in the same order as the Bag list section of the input.
Example Input: ```
