Java Multithreaded Clock

A simple, command-line digital clock application written in Java. This project demonstrates the fundamentals of multithreading by using separate threads for updating and displaying the current time concurrently.

Features

• Displays the current time and date, updated every second.
• Utilizes a separate thread for background time updates and another for console display.
• Implements thread priorities to ensure the display thread is responsive.
• Uses the volatile keyword for thread-safe communication between threads.
• Provides a clean, single-line output that overwrites itself, creating a dynamic display.

Technologies Used

• Java
• Java Time API (java.time)
