    - Inter-thread communication is used when a thread is paused running in its critical section and another thread is allowed to enter (or lock) in the same critical section to be executed.

    - This process is all about the synchronized threads for communicating with each other.

    - This mechanism is implemented by the following methods of an Object class:
       1. wait()
       2. notify()
       3. NotifyAll()

    - It allow threads to talk or to wait on each other.
