How do I implement locking in C#?

In C#, you can use the lock statement to ensure that a block of code runs only one thread at a time. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of using the lock statement.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

private static readonly object _lock = new object();

public void ThreadSafeMethod() {
    lock (_lock) {
        // Critical section code here
    }
}

This ensures that only one thread can execute the code inside the lock at a time.

What happens if a thread tries to enter a locked section?

If a thread tries to enter a locked section that is already locked by another thread, it will wait until the lock is released before proceeding.
