Missing prerequisites: java-easy-concurrent-counter

Metrics counters are missing increments during high-concurrency tests. You are working inside a Java backend interview lab, and the arena only clears when the result is safe, deterministic, and explainable.

Learning objective

Learn to apply AtomicInteger, synchronization, and race-condition reasoning in a Java backend interview lab while explaining the invariant, safety constraints, and hidden edge cases.

Mission order

Multiple threads call increment, add, snapshot, and reset. Prove your approach, handle adversarial inputs, and leave the solution maintainable. Submit the solution plus enough reasoning to pass hidden edge cases.

Visible checks

Demonstrates AtomicInteger, synchronization, and race-condition reasoning
Handles the visible sample and hidden edge cases
Keeps output deterministic and explainable
Avoids unsafe dynamic execution

Clear the route first

You can read the mission brief, but the editor, hints, tests, and submit flow stay locked until progression or plan access catches up.

Test Results

Run the visible checks when your first pass is ready.

Clear Protocol

1Read the scenario and restate the expected output shape.

2Run visible checks before chasing hidden edge cases.

3Use Genie for one nudge if stuck, then explain the invariant.

4Submit only when the result is deterministic and safe.
