Programming Assignment Unit 3

The document describes a Java program that implements a Clock class, which manages time updating and displaying using two separate threads. The start() method initializes these threads with different priorities, while the stop() method halts the clock's operation. The TimeUpdater thread updates the time every second, and the TimeDisplay thread prints the current time and date to the console in a specified format.

Explanation

Clock Class: The Clock class manages the time updating and displaying functionality.

start() Method: Initializes and starts the threads for time updating and displaying.

stop() Method: Stops the clock by changing the running state to false.

TimeUpdater Class: A thread responsible for updating the time in the background. It sleeps
for 1 second in each iteration.

TimeDisplay Class: A thread that continuously prints the current time and date to the
console in a specified format.

Thread Priorities: The display thread has a higher priority compared to the update thread.

Main Method: Starts the clock and allows it to run for 10 seconds before stopping it.
