Complete Modern C++ - Thread Synchronization (std::mutex)

The video tutorial explains how to share data between threads in a multithreaded environment, highlighting the issues of race conditions and data inconsistency. It introduces the concept of a mutex in C-11 to synchronize data access, ensuring only one thread can modify data at a time. The tutorial also covers potential deadlocks when using mutexes and how to prevent them by ensuring mutexes are always unlocked before a thread terminates.
