Hi All

What is the difference between Synchronized Block and Synchronized method with an example .confused with this.

[Jesper de Jong]

The following two are the same:

public synchronized void someMethod() {
    // ...code here
}
 
public void someMethod() {
    synchronized (this) {
        // ...code here
    }
}

Do you now understand what it means if you make a method synchronized?

[Rob Spoor]

With a synchronized block you can choose to only synchronize part of the code in the method. With a synchronized method, all the code in the method is synchronized.

And with a synchronized block you can choose what to synchronize on. With a synchronized method, an instance method always synchronizes on the instance, a static method always synchronizes on the class.
