multithreading

[luvcloud]

i read that the synchronization in Java utilizes a 'lock'..this is similar to the use of 'lock' keyword and also the monitor class in C# rite? anyone can explain this more in detail, like whether there is a difference?

Hi, I just know tyhat in java one uses the synchronized keyword, which garantees that the "synchronized" part (usually a method) is accessed by only one thread at a time.
I suppose that "synchronized" in c# might be "lock" or whatever they copied.

Hope it helped.

Java implicitly uses Monitors (read up on Hoare monitors) and demarks the critical sections of code (i.e. for which the monitor lock is required) with the synchronized keyword.
