Q2. Why are synchronized blocks needed in Java?
Ans. 
Synchronized blocks are needed in Java to ensure thread safety by allowing only one thread to access a block of code at a time.
• Prevents multiple threads from accessing critical sections of code simultaneously

• Ensures data consistency and prevents race conditions

• Improves performance by reducing contention for shared resources

• Example: synchronized block in a method that updates a shared variable

Q2. Explain the Producer-Consumer problem and how it can be solved using semaphores.
Ans. 
Producer-Consumer problem involves multiple threads sharing a common buffer. Producers add items to the buffer while consumers remove them.
• Producers and consumers need to synchronize their access to the shared buffer to avoid race conditions.

• Semaphores can be used to control access to the buffer. Two semaphores are used - one to track the empty slots in the buffer and one to track the filled slots.

• Producers increment t...read more
