Java Multithreading Explained (Thread States, Synchronization & Deadlocks) - Through One Example

Java multithreading used to confuse me a lot. I’d read about thread states, synchronized, deadlocks… but it all felt like separate pieces and I couldn’t see the full picture.

So I sat down and wrote an article that explains everything using one single example, step by step.
No jumping between 10 different snippets — just one flow that shows what’s happening and why.

It covers:

  • thread states / lifecycle
  • synchronization & locking
  • how deadlocks happen (and how to spot them)
