I next explore Java’s synchronization ... resulting in strange program behavior. You can use either synchronized statements to guard portions of a method, or synchronize the entire method.

Synchronized methods allow ... is a powerful tool in Java programming, but it comes with its own set of challenges. By following best practices, using synchronization effectively and being mindful ...

The JVM does not use any special opcodes to invoke or return from synchronized methods. When the JVM resolves the symbolic reference to a method, it determines whether the method is synchronized.

The Java memory model requires that variable state be correct after a synchronization ... that synchronized methods are just standard synchronized blocks around the whole method using the object ...
