Help understand the output

Question about the task

Resolved

I get this output when I run my code. In my opinion it displays all the information correctly. What's wrong? Smith:Start game Jones:Start game Gates:Start game Gates:Gather resources Smith:Gather resources Gates:Grow economy Gates:Kill enemies Smith:Grow economy Gates:won! Jones:lost Smith:lost Process finished with exit code 0

Three people play the game. Each player (Gamer) is characterized by two parameters: last name (name) and the actions-per-second (rating).
Display the actions taken and determine the winner and the losers.
Let's begin...
1. Figure out what the program does.
1.1. List<String> actions stores the sequence of actions performed by each player from 0 to the last.
1.2. isWinnerFound indicates whether the winner has been found.
1.3. The sleep method throws an InterruptedException and takes a long argument.
1.4. The players play independently of each other.
2. Implement the run method so that for each player:
2.1. At regular intervals (1000ms/rating), the actions specified in the actions list are displayed.
2.2. All text begins with the player's name (getName()), followed by a colon, and then the text itself.

Example:[Smith:Game start].

2.3. When a player has performed all of the actions in the actions list, he or she wins. Display [getName() + ":won!"].
2.4. When the winner is found, the game ends, and the remaining players have lost. For these players, display [getName() + ":lost"].

Don't display the square brackets ("[]").

Requirements:

At regular intervals (1000ms/rating), the Gamer class's run method should display the player's last name (getName()), followed by a colon, and then the text in OnlineGame.actions. Example: [Smith:Game start].
When all the game actions have been completed and the winner has not yet been found, the run method must set the flag OnlineGame.isWinnerFound to true (to inform the others that it is the winner).
If a player wins, his or her run method should display [getName() + ":won!"]. For example: [Jones:won!].
The run methods of all players who did not win (those who were interrupted) should display [getName() + ":lost"]. For example: [Gates:lost]
The run method must not throw an exception when it is interrupted.

What is the difference between using return and break to end a loop? They give different outputs but I don't understand why..

i'm sure you have figured it out, but just leaving this here in case anyone wonders: break; exits the loop return; exits the method. so if you break the loop it goes on to any remaining block of code in the method, where as the return keyword just leaves it.

Try this: You don't need the if else block. Take what is in the else block and copy + paste it into the catch block, then remove the whole else block and then just the if statement with brackets (not what is contained within):

for(........){
   System.out.println(currentThread().getName() + ":" + action);
    try {
      Thread.sleep((long) 1000 / rating);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      System.out.println(currentThread().getName() + ":lost");
      return;
    }
}

Yup , that almost passed all the conditions. I had to change currentThread().getName() into getName() also. Do you know what's the difference? Or is it just for code readability?

Only that the task calls for one and not the other. Otherwise in this example it returns the exact same thing.
