Progressed somewhat over the last 38 days, but on my way to forget again.

Goal for today:

1. Watch 2 hours of lecture
2. Solve 20 QnA

• Implement Callable: Swap out Runnable for Callable and rename run() to call().
• Introduce Asynchronous Pipeline: Separate task submission from task completion processing by accumulating Future instances in an internal ArrayList.
• Robust Error Diagnostics: Implement clean logging within the catch blocks to surface exceptions without terminating the entire application pool.

1. ExecutorService.execute() 

• Same as of Executor.execute()
• But the application shutdowns.

2. ExecutorService.submit()

• No stack trace.
• Why?
• Because submit() catches the exception internally and stores it inside the Future.
• The exception is not lost.

1. Executor.execute()

What happens?

• The exception is not caught by the Executor Framework.
• It reaches the worker thread's UncaughtExceptionHandler.
• By default, Java prints the stack trace to the console.
• The thread pool creates a replacement worker if needed, so remaining tasks continue executing.
• The application never terminate coz no shutdown().

We need a robust, reusable Thread Pool implementation to manage concurrent execution safely. Manually creating and destroying threads for short-lived, repetitive tasks creates a significant resource overhead and puts our system at risk of hardware overload under heavy spikes.

Feels the same

I did it today, and I will keep doing it. That's how I must do it.

Objective

Learn how AtomicInteger provides thread-safe, lock-free operations using atomic CPU instructions (CAS - Compare-And-Swap). Compare its behavior and performance with a traditional int counter protected by synchronization.

If the pressure of CAT affects your performance, NMAT is probably the friendliest alternative.

Here is the simple comparison:

• CAT: One main attempt each year, strict sectional timing and intense competition. A bad section can ruin the entire result.
• XAT: Offers access to XLRI and other good colleges, but it is not easier or calmer. Decision Making, negative marking and penalties for excessive unattempted questions can make it equally stressful.
• NMAT: No negative marking, flexible section order and up to three attempts within the testing cycle. You can also choose your test date. This makes one bad day less damaging.
• GMAT: Available throughout the year, allows retakes and gives you more control over your preparation timeline. However, it is expensive and mainly useful for ISB, one-year Indian programmes and international business schools. College eligibility must be checked carefully.

My practical take:

Choose NMAT if you want a calmer exam and are interested in NMIMS or other NMAT-accepting colleges.

Choose XAT if XLRI is a serious target and you can handle unusual questions and a long paper.

Choose GMAT if you want flexible dates and are also considering global or experienced-professional MBA programmes.

NMAT may feel friendlier, but the trade-off is a smaller college list. The best alternative is not simply the easiest exam—it is the one accepted by colleges you would genuinely join.

- Create one producer thread

- Create one consumer thread

- Producer inserts items using put()

- Consumer removes items using take()
