	===Thread Synchronization===		===Thread Synchronization===
			Thread synchronization is the process of waiting for another thread to complete before proceeding. For instance, you may not want to begin rending objects on screen until a certain computation or input is received. You may also want to wait for all threads to finish executing before terminating your program.
