Keyword synchronized

[Sander Rensen]

Hello Java users,

I just started at a IT company and I am learning the Java Language. In Java
they use the keyword 'synchronized'. Where do I use this for? It also seems
that you can use it in a function declaration and in a statement. In which
curcumstances do I use the keyword synchronized in a function declaration
and when do I use it in a statement?

I hope somebody can help me. Thanks for you effort.

Best regards

Sander

You may have realized this from the other two replies, but in case you
haven't, I'll take this moment to spell it out for you.

What you have asked us for is an entire course in multi-threading. Find as
many tutorials online, and if you need a good java threading book, then
here's one I hear mentioned a lot:

You can find the cheapest one here:

but it is sometimes referred to as not for absolute-rank beginners. {shrug}
