Volatile variables are those which do not retain the values supplied in memory.

Transient variables do not participate during object serialization .The variable which are marked as transient will not be sent as a part of the object during the serialization process.

volatile is 4 da threadings. in threadings u are having two types of memory. Main memory and threadings local memory. threadings local memory is like a screen shot of main memory. Like screenshot it is not current, but looks like memory when screenshot is taken.volatile tells teh thred not use screenshot of variable, but use main memory instead. this is so it is always uptoday.
