Difference between sleep and wait in java

7:59 AM
sleep It causes current executing thread to sleep for specific amount of time. Its accuracy depends on system timers and schedulers. It keeps the monitors it has acquired, so if it is called from synchronized context, no other thread can enter that block or method. If we call interrupt() method , it will wake up the sleeping thread. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8        synchronized ( lockedObject ) {           Thread . sleep ( 1000 ) ; // It does not release the lock on lockedObject.        // So either after 1000 miliseconds, current thread will wake up, or after we call        //t. interrupt() method.           }   wait It causes current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this objec...

Explain wait(), notify() and notifyAll() in Java Thread?

1:08 AM
If you ask me one concept in Java which is so obvious yet most misunderstood, I would say the wait(), notify() and notifyAll() methods.

In this article, I am going to share some practical tips and points about wait(), notify() and notifyAll() in Java. Two books, which helped me a lot while understanding this core c...
