//Let see with an example: | |
class Counter { | |

Counter.count++; | |
System.out.print(Counter.count + " "); | |
} | |
public void run() { | |
increment(); | |
increment(); | |
increment(); | |
} | |
} | |
// This class creates three threads | |
public class DataRace { | |
public static void main(String args[]) { | |
UseCounter c = new UseCounter(); | |
Thread t1 = new Thread(c); | |
Thread t2 = new Thread(c); | |
Thread t3 = new Thread(c); | |
t1.start(); | |
t2.start(); | |
t3.start(); | |
} | |
