What are the different synchronization techniques in C#?

What are the different synchronization techniques in C#?

In C#, synchronization techniques include locks, mutexes, semaphores, and monitors. Each serves to manage access to shared resources.

Can you explain how the lock statement works?

The lock statement in C# is used to ensure that a block of code runs only by one thread at a time, preventing race conditions.

What is the difference between Mutex and Semaphore?

A Mutex is used for exclusive access to a resource, while a Semaphore allows a specified number of threads to access a resource concurrently.

When should I use a Monitor instead of a lock?

You should use a Monitor when you need more control over thread synchronization, such as signaling between threads.
