This chapter discusses about another way to implement synchronization in Java. We have seen about the requirement of synchronization in previous chapter.

Java provides locks via java.util.concurrent.Locks class. Locks provide option to provide single-threaded access to a block of code by locking it using Locks. The ReentrantLock class implements the Lock interface and provides synchronization to methods while accessing shared resources.

It is mandatory to unlock once the lock is acquired. So it is better to put it inside a finally block.
