When we are working with multithreading implementations, we have to consider the behavior of our code when multiple threads try to access it. We need to make sure our threads do not fight and work in peace and harmony. To begin with, let’s start with race condition. Race Conditions: These are situations where non atomic […]

Since now we have some idea on locks and how threads use them for execution, Let’s look into some classes which further helps us in our use cases. ReentrantLock class: In addition to lock functionality, this class provide few more utility methods which help us in our user cases. tryLock() method: This method returns boolean

Since we are aware how to create threads now it’s time to observe some critical thread methods. Method interrupt(): Consider a long running thread. If we invoke the interrupt method of this thread, we are basically telling the thread to stop executing whatever it is doing and instead execute a different code. This “different code”

Multithreading can be viewed as a digital world’s term for multi-tasking. When someone say they are multitasking, they are performing multiple different tasks within a timeframe. Even though it is an advanced topic, its use can be observed in our day-to-day basic tasks – Multi-tasking in Java can be achieved using Threads and thus the
