1115. Print FooBar Alternately

中文文档

Description

Suppose you are given the following code:

class FooBar {
  public void foo() {
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      print("foo");
    }
  }

  public void bar() {
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      print("bar");
    }
  }
}

The same instance of FooBar will be passed to two different threads:

• thread A will call foo(), while
• thread B will call bar().

Modify the given program to output "foobar" n times.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: "foobar"
Explanation: There are two threads being fired asynchronously. One of them calls foo(), while the other calls bar().
"foobar" is being output 1 time.

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: "foobarfoobar"
Explanation: "foobar" is being output 2 times.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 1000

Solutions

Python3

from threading import Semaphore


class FooBar:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.f = Semaphore(1)
        self.b = Semaphore(0)

    def foo(self, printFoo: "Callable[[], None]") -> None:
        for _ in range(self.n):
            self.f.acquire()
            # printFoo() outputs "foo". Do not change or remove this line.
            printFoo()
            self.b.release()

    def bar(self, printBar: "Callable[[], None]") -> None:
        for _ in range(self.n):
            self.b.acquire()
            # printBar() outputs "bar". Do not change or remove this line.
            printBar()
            self.f.release()

Java

class FooBar {
    private int n;
    private Semaphore f = new Semaphore(1);
    private Semaphore b = new Semaphore(0);

    public FooBar(int n) {
        this.n = n;
    }

    public void foo(Runnable printFoo) throws InterruptedException {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            f.acquire(1);
            // printFoo.run() outputs "foo". Do not change or remove this line.
            printFoo.run();
            b.release(1);
        }
    }

    public void bar(Runnable printBar) throws InterruptedException {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            b.acquire(1);
            // printBar.run() outputs "bar". Do not change or remove this line.
            printBar.run();
            f.release(1);
        }
    }
}

C++

#include <semaphore.h>

class FooBar {
private:
    int n;
    sem_t f, b;

public:
    FooBar(int n) {
        this->n = n;
        sem_init(&f, 0, 1);
        sem_init(&b, 0, 0);
    }

    void foo(function<void()> printFoo) {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            sem_wait(&f);
            // printFoo() outputs "foo". Do not change or remove this line.
            printFoo();
            sem_post(&b);
        }
    }

    void bar(function<void()> printBar) {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            sem_wait(&b);
            // printBar() outputs "bar". Do not change or remove this line.
            printBar();
            sem_post(&f);
        }
    }
};
