Multithreading is a very powerful mechanism that helps us to better utilize the system's resources, but we need to take special care while reading and writing data shared by multiple threads. There are two basic problems with multithreading programming—visibility and access problems. A visibility problem occurs when the effects of one thread can be seen by another. An access problem can occur when the same shared resources are accessed by multiple threads at the same time.

Due to visibility and access problems, a program does not react any more and it leads to deadlocks or generates incorrect data.
