Java.Multithreading.Can new instances of a class be created while a static synchronized method is executing?

Yes, new instances of a class can be created while a static synchronized method is executing.

Let’s break it down:

🔒 static synchronized method

• It locks on the Class object, not on an instance.
• So, if thread A is executing a static synchronized method, it holds the class-level lock.

💡 Creating new instances

• Creating an object via new MyClass() does not require any lock.
• It’s simply calling a constructor, which is not synchronized by default.
• Therefore, other threads can create new instances of the class, even while the static synchronized method is running.
