Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to do advanced thread synchronization using volatile fields, atomic operations, and semaphores. We used these to create our own reactive programming framework and also created a functional API for reactive programming. We used our frameworks to solve sample problems and saw how multithreaded scalable apps can be written easily with a reactive framework.

There are many reactive programming frameworks available, such as RxJava, Akka, and many more. They are slightly different in their implementation and features. They all provide a lot more features than the one we used. This chapter is just an introduction to the topic; interested readers can learn more about reactive programming from the books dedicated to this subject.

In this book, I tried to give you a head start in the world of algorithms, with implementations in Java. Algorithms are a vast field of study. Every computation problem needs to be solved by an algorithm. A further study would include...
