synchronization algorithms

Synchronization algorithms are methods used to coordinate and align processes, data, or clocks across different systems or devices. They ensure that pieces of information are consistent and updated simultaneously, preventing conflicts or errors. For example, in a computer network, these algorithms make sure all computers have the same time or data, enabling smooth communication. They work by exchanging signals or messages to agree on a common reference point, adjusting as needed. Overall, they maintain order and coherence in distributed systems, making sure all parts work together harmoniously.
