Volatile Variables
Volatile variables
are used in
concurrent programming
to ensure that a variable's value is always read from and written to the
main memory
, preventing threads from
caching the variable locally
. This guarantees visibility and
ordering of variable updates
across threads, but does not provide atomicity or synchronization on its own.
