Why "Synchronization" meaning not coming into C# thread ?

Mohan J

Hi,

I am a beginner to c#. I have confusion on "Synchronization" operation in C#. If synchronize applied that means locking applied , only one thread allowed at a time right. But "synchronization" means, doing multiple tasks at a time in English. According to that meaning, c# should allow multiple thread at a time when synchronization concept is applied right? Please clarify me.

thanks a lot

Synchronization means coordinating concurrent actions to achieve a predictable outcome.

In the context of multi-threading, locking is often used to achieve synchronization because this ensures that only one thread can enter a critical piece of code at a time.

However, there are other techniques which can be used for synchronization purposes as well including signalling and the Interlocked class.
