Describe a scenario where using channels would be preferable over other synchronization mechanisms.
- When you need to synchronize access to a critical section.
- When you want to ensure mutual exclusion of goroutines.
- When you want to coordinate communication between multiple goroutines.
- When you need to share data between goroutines.
Channels are preferable over other synchronization mechanisms when you need to coordinate communication between multiple goroutines. For example, in a producer-consumer scenario, channels provide a simple and effective way for producers to send data to consumers without the need for low-level locking and signaling mechanisms. Channels promote cleaner and more readable code in such scenarios.
