Is it possible to synchronize the string type in Java?
A thread is a piece of code (under execution) in a program, which executes a sub task of the process independently. independent process.
In other words, a thread is a light weight process which executes a piece of code independently.
Thread synchronization
If a process has multiple threads running independently at the same time (multi-threading) and if all of them trying to access a same resource an issue occurs.
To resolve this, Java provides synchronized blocks/ synchronized methods. If you define a resource (variable/object/array) inside a synchronized block or a synchronized method, if one thread is using/accessing it, other threads are not allowed to access.
synchronized (Lock1) {
System.out.println("Thread 1: Holding lock 1...");
}Synchronizing Strings
It is not recommended to use objects which are pooled and reused, if you do so there is a chance of getting into deadlock condition down the line.
Since Strings are pooled in String constant pool and reused, it is not suggestable lock String types with Synchronization.
