Implementing Producer and Consumer in Java

The code to implement a Producer and Consumer in Java is mentioned below, courtesy : cs.wellesley.edu.

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

// We would like to synchronize producer and consumer so that
// producer puts a number in the buffer, then the consumer takes it
// out, then the producer puts another number, and so on.

// This solution provides the right behaviour
// We have changed the class Buffer to include wait() and notify()
// We also have changed the producer and cinsumer classes
// slightly to handle a new exception

public class ConsumerProducerGood {

  public static void main (String [] args) {
    Buffer buf = new Buffer();
    
    // create new threads
    Thread prod = new Producer(10, buf);
    Thread cons = new Consumer(10, buf);
    
    // starting threads
    prod.start();
    cons.start();
    
    // Wait for the threads to finish
    try {
        prod.join();
        cons.join();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {return;}
  }
 
} 

class Buffer {
          private int contents;
          private boolean empty = true;
          
          public synchronized void put (int i) throws InterruptedException { 
              while (empty == false) {     //wait till the buffer becomes empty
                  try { wait(); }
                  catch (InterruptedException e) {throw e;}
              }
              contents = i;

                  try {     wait(); }
