Gas Station Employee Simulation

This project simulates an employee at a gas station performing various tasks such as refueling cars, cleaning windshields, and inflating tires. It demonstrates the use of Java threads to handle multiple concurrent activities, ensuring realistic simulation of an employee's tasks at a gas station.

Description

The Gas Station Employee Simulation project uses Java's multithreading capabilities to simulate an employee performing various tasks at a gas station. The main class, Empleado, contains multiple threads representing different tasks, ensuring they are executed concurrently and synchronized to mimic real-life scenarios at a gas station.

Features

• Multithreading: Utilizes Java's threading capabilities to manage concurrent tasks.
• Synchronization: Ensures conflicting actions are not performed simultaneously.
• Simulation: Creates a realistic scenario of a gas station employee's tasks using print statements to represent the employee's actions.

Main Classes and Methods

Empleado Class

This class simulates an employee performing various tasks at a gas station, utilizing multiple threads to handle different actions.

Constructor:

public Empleado() {
    this.hiloLlenarTanquePrincipal = new Thread(this::LlenadoPrincipal);
    this.hiloLlenarTanque= new Thread(this::llenarTanque);
    this.hiloLimpiarParabrisas = new Thread(this::limpiarParabrisas);
    this.hiloLimpiarParabrisas2 = new Thread(this::limpiarParabrisas);
    this.hiloLlenarLlantas = new Thread(this::llenarLlantas);
}

Initializes the threads for various actions.

Start Method:

public void start() {
    this.hiloLlenarTanquePrincipal.start();
}

Starts the main refueling thread, which sequentially manages other tasks.

LlenadoPrincipal Method:

private synchronized void LlenadoPrincipal() {
    try {
        // Simulation of refueling and other tasks
        System.out.println("Un auto solicita llenado de tanque completo ($1200MXN)");
        System.out.println("LLENANDO TANQUE PRINCIPAL");
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        // Additional tasks
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Manages the main refueling process and coordinates with other threads.

LimpiarParabrisas Method:

private void limpiarParabrisas() {
    int cont = 0;
    while (cont < 3) {
        if (accionLimpiarParabrisas) {
            if(x == 1){
                System.out.println("\tLimpiando parabrisas...");
            } else {
                System.out.println("\t\t\tLimpiando parabrisas...");
            }
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                cont++;
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

Simulates the process of cleaning windshields.

LlenarTanque Method:

private void llenarTanque() {
    int cont = 0;
    while (cont < 3) {
        if (accionLlenadoTanque) {
            System.out.println("\t\tLlenando tanque...");
            try {
                if(cont == 0){
                    Thread.sleep(10000);
                } else {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                }
                cont++;
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

Simulates the process of refueling a car.

LlenarLlantas Method:

private void llenarLlantas() {
    int cont = 0;
    while (cont < 4) {
        if(accionLlenadoLlantas){
            System.out.println("\t\t\tInflando llanta...");
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                cont++;
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

Simulates the process of inflating tires.
