What are synchronized Java methods?

Answer by  stefant (27)

Synchronized methods are those which will work when more than one thread is running and has access to the method. When called, they secure a lock on their containing object. Any successive calls must wait for that thread to finish with the method.

Synchronized Java methods are a way to enable programmers to prevent memory interference and thread consistency errors by preventing an object to be visible to more than one thread. Synchronized fields are not necessary when working with "final" fields.

A synchronized java method is a programming feature within the java programming language which are used to prevent thread interference and memory consistency errors. This is part of advanced java programming, and is used to increase stability within programs created using the java programming language. It is one of the two available synchronized methods, the other being synchronized statements.

If a Java method is marked by the keyword synchronized it means that it can be accessed by one thread in parallel alone. So, if one program thread is currently executing the code, another thread calling the method will have to wait for the first thread to exit the method.

These are Java functions that can be called by different execution threads (Thread object descendants) at the same time without getting race conditions (i. e. variables getting read and written out of order).

Synchronized methods are methods that will only allow a thread to execute the given method if the thread has first "locked" onto the method's object or class.

In ordee to make a method synchronized the keyword synchronized is used. Constructors cannot be synchronized. it is the one in which the two threads must not be executed simultaneously.

A synchronized method helps the programmer to program multi threaded class calls without of the use of semaphores. If you have a class with a count method that increments a member of this class, you normally use semaphores if there is more than one thread to use this method. With the keyword synchronized the function cant be called parallel.

It basically involved the synchronization of the various methods to specifically Java methods. Not everybody uses it but it's certainly on the rise.

These types of Java methods include different types of texts. You can install these different Java types about once every month and you can use them within Microsoft Word program.
