How to notify() the main method in the given code snippet

Question

consider the given code snippet
code
public class WaitTest {
public static void main(String [] args) {
System.out.print("1 ") ;
synchronized(args) {
System.out.print("2 " ) ;
try {
args.wait();
catch(InterruptedException e){}
System.out.print("3 ");
code
Here since there are no threads to notify the main()method the statement System.out.print("3 "); never gets executed.And i cannot use the non static notify() from a static context.In this case how will I notify the main() method.

Answer 1

A thread can only do one thing at a time.
It cannot be waiting and notifying at the same time.
notify only works if another thread is waiting.
wait() only stops if another thread notify/notifyAll() it at the same time.
