Thread T1 already executing the sync code by holding a lock on a perticular obj. and updated the shared values. Now this thread preempted, and the lock handovered to another thread T2 to execute the same sync method., it resets all the shared values with new values. it finished its execution and deads. now T1 wants to continue to execute from where it stoped.CAN T1 GET ITS ORIGINAL VALUES WHAT IT SUPPOSING?,if NOT wHAT IS THE USE OF SYNC. ?

If thread T1 gets preempted, it does not loose its lock on the synchronized object. Thread T2 will wait until thread T1 regains control and releases the lock.
