What multithreaded collections do you know?

Answer from AI
In Java, for example, multi-threaded collections include classes from the java.util.concurrent package, which provide thread safety when working from multiple threads without the need for external synchronization.
Main multi-threaded collections:
- ConcurrentHashMap — a thread-safe implementation of a hash table.
- CopyOnWriteArrayList — a list optimized for frequent reads and infrequent modifications.
- ConcurrentLinkedQueue — a non-blocking queue based on a linked list.
- BlockingQueue (e.g., ArrayBlockingQueue, LinkedBlockingQueue) — queues with blocking operations for thread interaction.
- ConcurrentSkipListMap and ConcurrentSkipListSet — thread-safe sorted collections.
Example of using ConcurrentHashMap:
ConcurrentHashMap<String, Integer> map = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
map.put("key1", 1);
Integer value = map.get("key1");
These collections help avoid synchronization issues and improve the performance of multi-threaded applications.
