How to Use synchronized() and withLock() to Lock Shared Resources in Kotlin
When working with multithreaded applications, we need to ensure that access to shared resources is managed to avoid inconsistent data. Synchronization is the approach that we usually use when we want to control access to shared resources in our applications. Synchronization is realized using locks, ensuring no thread accesses the shared resource until the currently executing thread has finished running. A thread must first obtain an object’s lock before it accesses the shared resource and release it once done.
