It has been 1267 days since Java Concurrency in Practice was published. I trust that all self-respecting Java programmers have read the book cover-to-cover. Today's Friday Quiz is a concurrency one.

Q: Will the following Java class compile? Run without exceptions? If so, what does it print?

import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue; 
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue; 
 
public class Foo { 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { 
        BlockingQueue<Integer> q = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer>(); 
        q.put(1); 
        Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); 
        System.out.println(q.take()); 
    } 
}

Strict rules apply: No actual compiling, peeking into the book, or surfing the web for Javadocs or other clues is allowed for the first 30 minutes.

Bonus Q: How many authors are named on the cover of Java Concurrency in Practice? Name three of them.

Bonus QQ: Name the other three.
