About Question com.enthuware.ets.scjp.v6.2.278 :

[hardtail29]

It should be made clear in the question that both threads are executing the same instance of MySecureClass otherwise the correct answer is 1) "done will be printed immediately".

It is indeed specified in the question, "Now, Thread two decides to call doSmallStff() method on the same object."

Yes, you're right it is there in the description but IMHO it should be in the code as well. After all this is a test about Java not about descriptions. To quibble further this question has a "different" style which could be mistaken as an attempt to label.

Code: Select all

try 
		{
		   LINE1: Thread.sleep(10000);
		}catch(Exception e){ }

instead of what appears in other questions:

Code: Select all

try 
		{
		  Thread.sleep(10000);  //line 1
		}catch(Exception e){ }

... </quibble> overall I think the questions are great, just trying for consistency/objective

Typo in "Thread two decides to call doSmallStff()"

Typo in "Thread two decides to call doSmallStff()"

I see that it is already fixed in v1.60.
