In this video we will dive into the differences of serial and concurrent dispatch queues. A pillar of iOS Development to schedule work, we'll also talk through sync and async work being executed with examples.

You did not explain sync vs async really well. The main difference between those is: Sync: Blocks the caller queue until the task is done (serial or concurrent. Async: Does not block the caller queue. Serial queue: Executes tasks one after the other in just one thread Concurrent queue: Executes tasks in parallel in a different queue's thread On your first example, the main reason why it printed "1" it's because you can never call sync{} from the same queue AND to the same queue (serial or concurrent). You'll end up with a deadlock and a crash most of the time.

could you explain a bit more on the 1st example please? What do you mean "you can never call sync{} from the same queue AND to the same queue (serial or concurrent)"?

@tonysiu8562 2 жыл бұрын

@@laurapotter6321 if u call sync from the same queue and to the same queue. The sync routine will need to start after retuning from the sync routine. And the sync function call cannot return until the sync routine finished. So it becomes a dead lock

@@tonysiu8562 but in his 1st example, there is only one sync called on the queue right? Where is “from and to the same queue ” coming from?

@@laurapotter6321 In the example at the very beginning of this video, it is serial queue. Serial means, one task has to be completed before the next task can start. .async{} is retuning even the task isnt started. since the sync{print "2"} is inside async{ print"1" ... } the task in the print"2" routine cannot start before the everything in print"1" routine can finish runnin.

Bc it locks the serial queue

@sharungarg 2 жыл бұрын

So to understand it, when we are calling sync, we are telling the queue to make itself available, free from any ongoing tasks (sync or async) or just complete the current task and make itself available. But as the sync block was called inside the async block, although the queue can put the async operation on hold and take other tasks, but cannot make itself completely available for the sync block to run. The sync block is demanding the full availability of the queue, but the ongoing async block cannot complete unless that sync block completes. Can someone please confirm it?

I tried before with a certain api to make a request serially by write a code as you did but it did not work. Does "task.resume()" or "session" have an effect on that?

queue.sync refers to that particular queue doesn't it? instead if you specifically point to queue.main.sync would be the same than not using the queue itself since you're poining right to the main thread am i right?

@jameelshehadeh9011 2 жыл бұрын

i get it why 1 is printed in the first block of code i.e queue.async { print("1") queue.sync { print("2") queue.sync{ print("3") } } } but why the last two async blocks containing "4" and "5" are not executed despite them being called out of the first scope ? i tried to think about it and thought because the queue will be busy performing print("1") but it supposed to be serial so once its finished the first block it will move to execute the next two blocks i believe there is something i am misunderstanding here its confusing little bit, would appreciate some help

@osmansuliman5226 Жыл бұрын

Since the first closure submitted to the serial queue contains a sync call, it blocks the serial queue until the closure has finished executing. This means that the async calls for "4" and "5" are not executed until the first closure has finished executing.

queue.sync - impossible to call, code crashes. Did tried to copy code from screen as is and that crashes in runtime. don't spend time on video, marked with dislike
