    Default PipeInputStream & PipeOutputStream

    is it possible for One PipeInputStream to stream out to two PipeOutputStream? I am trying to get the third thread to from Pipe 2 to read the first thread from Pipe 1.

    The class displayInfo is the problem for me below. It read 3 variable TWICE, before it can print out the results on the second time. Please help me fix it.

    // Example showing how to pass data from one thread to another
    // through a pipe, for the Quadratic Equation Solver.
     
    //import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class assign2 {

    		try {
    			PipedOutputStream out1 = new PipedOutputStream();
    			PipedInputStream in1 = new PipedInputStream(out1);
    			PipedOutputStream out2 = new PipedOutputStream();
    			PipedInputStream in2 = new PipedInputStream(out2);
     
    			readCoeffs prod = new readCoeffs(out1);
    			calRoots filt = new calRoots(in1, out2);
    			displayInfo cons = new displayInfo(in1, in2);
     
    			cons.start();
    			prod.start();
    			filt.start();
    		} catch (IOException e) {

    Default Re: PipeInputStream & PipeOutputStream

    Can you post the contents of the console from when you execute the program that shws your input and the programs output. Add some comments to the post to show what the output should be or to show where the error is.

    To make for easier testing, put the input into the program. Change the StringReader on the following line to be the program's input:
           StringReader sr = new StringReader("3\n34\n56\n78\n12\n23\n34\n");
    	BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(sr); //new InputStreamReader(System.in));
