Returning in the Middle of Synchronized Block

[ariak]

Hi,

What would happen if the code returns in the middle of the synchronized block? Does the lock for the object be released? i.e.

synchronized (obj) {
if (/* condition */) {
return;
}
// Other stuff
}

Yes, the lock is released.

Excellent, that tiny premise probably saved me from redesigning my code. Thank you.
