Answer
Look for race conditions and improper synchronization.
Concurrency bugs can cause unpredictable behavior. In Java, watch for race conditions where multiple threads access shared data without proper synchronization. For example, if a method updates a shared counter without synchronized blocks, it could lead to incorrect counts. Spotting these in code reviews prevents potential data corruption.
