synchronized block

[me_shankara]

The general form of synchronized block is

class table 
{ 
....... 
void printTable(int n) 
{ 
synchronized(obj) 
{ 
...... 
} 
} 
}

Here obj means object of table class or object of any class.
If we write this in place of obj ,then an object of table class can’t access the synchronized block from two different threads.
MYDOUBTS:
1)Is it possible to write name of object other than table class in place of obj?
2)If write other object’s name other than table class in place of obj,what it means?
3)Then which object can’t access the synchronized block simultaneously?

Read the API doc of the Object class's wait() and notify() methods. A lot is explained there.

You can synchronize on any object.

If you still have questions please ask again.

in short:
1. yes
2. you can use any object for a lock
3. when an object is locked, only the holder of the lock has access
