Event-Scheduler

This project simulates the processing of events with the highest priority using a simple event scheduling mechanism in Java. The scheduler iterates through an array of Event interfaces, prioritizing those with the highest priority. When priorities are equal, it resumes the event; otherwise, it suspends it.

Features

• Event Creation: Create and start event threads with specified priorities.
• Priority Scheduling: The scheduler identifies and processes the event with the highest priority.
• Thread Management: Events can be suspended, resumed, or stopped based on their priority.

Getting Started

To run this project, ensure you have Java installed on your machine. Follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/eventscheduler.git
   cd eventscheduler

2. Project Structure: Make sure to move the Java files into the eventscheduler folder:

   eventscheduler/
   ├── Event.java
   ├── EventProcessor.java
   ├── Main.java
   └── Scheduler.java
   

3. Compile the Code: Navigate to the eventscheduler directory and compile the Java files:

   javac *.java

4. Run the Application: Execute the main class:

   java Main

Code Overview

• Event.java: Defines the Event class that implements Runnable. It manages the event threads and their states (suspended, stopped).
• EventProcessor.java: Contains the logic for processing events, simulating a task with a simple delay.
• Scheduler.java: Responsible for scheduling events based on their priority, suspending and resuming them as necessary.
• Main.java: The entry point of the application, where events are created and started.

Example Usage

In the Main class, you can see how to create events with different priorities:

Event[] events = {
    Event.createAndStart("Backup Database", 4),
    Event.createAndStart("User   login", 8)
};
