This is the question I am talking about:
This is the explanation offered in the answers section:
"The first call to wait() blocks forever. It's waiting for a notify(), but the notify() is never called because it's blocked on the wait(). In order for a notify() to be useful, it must be sent from a separate
thread so that it can be called while the first thread is still waiting at the wait() statement."
Why and how do the two methods block on each other?
AFAIK, this is how it works: upon encountering the wait() method, the currently running thread releases its lock, which is reacquired. Then we encounter the notify() method (why is it waiting for the wait() method)? This is confusing...
Thanks
