synchronized?

[Mike Shn]

What return type is synchronized of the function?
public synchronized void reset()

[jason adam]

Synchronized is not a return type, it is a modifier saying that a Thread calling this method obtains a lock, causing all other Threads trying to access that object's synchronized methods to wait until the current thread is done.
Do a search on "synchronized" for more information, or read any Java book you have available to you.

The synchronized keyword marks a critical section. It is not a return type. Read more about in the Java Tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/monitors.html
