Introduction to Programming

The wait() and notify() methods

The wait(), and notify() methods and their overloaded versions are used for communication between threads—the lightweight processes for concurrent processing. Programmers do not re-implement these methods. They just use them to increase the throughput and performance of their applications. We will go into more details about the wait() and notify() methods in Chapter 11, JVM Processes and Garbage Collection.

You have constructed in your head a framework of Java knowledge while reading the first two chapters. Don't feel frustrated ...
