Program to print even and odd numbers from 1 to 20 using 2 threads alternately.
• Create two threads, one for printing even numbers and one for printing odd numbers.

• Use wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() to ensure alternate printing.

• Ensure synchronization between the two threads to avoid race conditions.

• Example: Thread 1 prints even numbers (2, 4, 6, ...) and Thread 2 prints odd numbers (1, 3, 5, ...).
