This is the code I need to work, I spent a day trying to fix this#I can't change the name of the timertask thread from another thread

Dude, trying to fix what? Seriously now
obsidian gazelle
I can't notify() the thread because it is nameless
The main runs before the timer and has no name to use
So do I need to initialize the name outside the thread? but how
hasty kite
notify() has nothing to do with names
obsidian gazelle
you need to enter the thread name.notify() to specify the thread to notify()
hasty kite
This is an object. They're not names
obsidian gazelle
It still has nothing to reference it with, or to run notify() with
sorry if my java terminology is wrong, I've done a lot of other coding
hasty kite
You could just make one, but it seems weird to have a TimerTask wait

Well names are names and stuff that aren't names aren't names
obsidian gazelle
because the main runs before the timertask thread runs
hasty kite
You'll probably need to share the monitor object, otherwise it won't exactly be useful. So you create it beforehand and you pass it to everything that needs to synchronize on it
obsidian gazelle
How do I create it beforehand?
hasty kite
Like Object monitor = new Object();
obsidian gazelle
Oh, but then how would I turn that into a thread Object
hasty kite
What are you speaking about? You don't want a thread, you want a monitor to wait()/notify() on
