Question 1.
What does the Java Memory Model define?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how threads share variables.
Question 2.
What happens if a variable is not declared volatile?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how threads see updated values.
3Question 3.
What does the Java Memory Model (JMM) primarily address?
- Memory allocation
- Thread interaction
- Garbage collection
Show hintHide hint
Think about how threads access shared resources.
4Question 4.
True or False: The JMM guarantees that all changes made by one thread will always be visible to others immediately.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the conditions for visibility.
Question 5.
Consider a multithreaded application where two threads are updating a shared boolean variable without synchronization. Describe potential outcomes and how you would apply the JMM principles to avoid issues.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how updates to shared variables can affect execution.
Question 6.
Write code demonstrating improper usage of shared variables resulting in race conditions. Then, modify the code to ensure thread safety using the principles of the Java Memory Model.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how thread synchronization can control access to shared resources.
