Monitor-class

A Monitor-class is a programming construct used in concurrent programming to manage access to shared resources or data. It ensures that only one thread or process interacts with the shared resource at a time, preventing errors or conflicts. Think of it as a protective gatekeeper that controls and coordinates access, allowing multiple threads to work safely without interfering with each other. Monitors typically include mechanisms like mutual exclusion (lock/unlock) and condition variables to handle coordination, making multi-threaded programs more reliable and easier to reason about.
