Master Java Concurrency: Essential Interview Questions & Answers (2022)

Thread States in Java

Java threads have six possible states, as shown below.

The thread lifecycle transitions among these states as code executes.

Thread Communication Methods

Various mechanisms enable threads to communicate:

volatile and synchronized keywords – ensure visibility of shared variables and provide mutual exclusion.

wait/notify mechanism – use wait() and notify() for coordination between threads.

Pipe input/output streams – memory‑based streams (PipedOutputStream, PipedInputStream, PipedReader, PipedWriter) for data transfer between threads.

Thread.join() – allows one thread to wait for another to finish, with overloads for timeout.

ThreadLocal – provides thread‑confined variables accessible via set() and get().

The shared PDF includes Java basics interview questions, memory model, locks, concurrency utilities, and thread‑pool topics. It can be obtained by following the SpringForAll community on WeChat and replying with the keyword “并发2022”.
