Another question taken from JQuest mock exam.
1. public synchronized void someMethod() {
2. //lots of code
3. try {
4. Thread.sleep(500);
5. } catch(InterruptedException e) {
6. //do some things here.
7. }
8. //more and more code here
9. }
Select all correct answers
a. The code causes compilation error - sleep cannot be called inside synchronized methods.
b. The
thread sleeps for atleast 500 milliseconds in this method if not interrupted.
c. When the thread "goes to sleep" it releases the lock on the object.
d. The "sleeping" threads always have the lock on the object.
The correct answers are c and d.
But aren't they contradictory???
Can anyone explain.
