Lets say that we define a Java class that will store two lists, foo and bar . Both of these lists will be updated by other concurrently executing threads. So we create two synchronized methods, one to provide write access to foo , and the other to provide write access to bar .
How many intrinsic (i.e., automatic or transparent) locks does the object provide in this case?
