This is the code I've written so far
(defn sleeper-thread [out id t]
"Sleep for time T ms"
(binding [*out* out]
(printf "%d sleeping for time %d\n" id t)
(Thread/sleep t)
(printf "%d slept\n" id)))
(defn test-threads [n out]
(dotimes [x n]
(.start (Thread. (#(sleeper-thread %1 %2 %3) out x (+ 2000 (rand-
int 5000)))))))
And the output is
0 sleeping for time 5480
0 slept
1 sleeping for time 6739
1 slept
2 sleeping for time 5444
2 slept
3 sleeping for time 3087
3 slept
4 sleeping for time 6753
4 slept
5 sleeping for time 3489
5 slept
6 sleeping for time 5864
6 slept
7 sleeping for time 5523
7 slept
8 sleeping for time 5659
8 slept
9 sleeping for time 5052
9 slept
