Question 1

What happens if a variable is not marked volatile or synchronized in a multithreaded environment?

  • Variables are always visible to other threads
  • Changes may not be seen by other threads
  • Synchronization is unnecessary

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about thread interaction with memory.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a scenario where multiple threads are updating a shared counter and you notice inconsistent results. How would you design a solution using both volatile and synchronized blocks effectively?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how many threads will attempt to change the counter.

Question 2

Design a simple producer-consumer problem using shared variables, highlighting where you would use synchronization.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the buffer's access is controlled.
