What is the difference between `notify()` and `notifyAll()` in Java object monitors?

Accepted Answer

In Java, `notify()` randomly selects one waiting thread to wake up, while `notifyAll()` wakes up all threads waiting on the same monitor. This ensures that all threads are notified, preventing potential starvation.
