Answer from AI

In my Go projects, I used the following synchronization tools:

  • Mutex (sync.Mutex) — for protecting critical sections and preventing concurrent access to shared data.

  • RWMutex (sync.RWMutex) — when I need to allow multiple goroutines to read data simultaneously but block writing.

  • WaitGroup (sync.WaitGroup) — to wait for a group of goroutines to finish.

  • Channels — for data transfer and synchronization between goroutines, often preferred over mutexes in Go.

For example, to safely update a shared counter, I used sync.Mutex:

var mu sync.Mutex
var counter int

func increment() {
    mu.Lock()
    defer mu.Unlock()
    counter++
}

Using these tools helps avoid data races and ensures correct operation of concurrent programs.
