Threading

Threading:-Thread is a public class in java which internally implements Runnable interface, Runnable interface having only one method that is run method. Purpose of thread class and Runnable interface is to achieve multitasking programming, in a normal programming we know the flow of program execution because normal methods execute sequentially and this sequence is possible through stack all the processes run in a common stack.
Thread is a lightweight process which is run in separate stack space, so all the threads run in separate stack space simultaneously that’s why threads run independently. If in a program more than one thread executing this process called multi threading. Order of execution of threads are depends on thread scheduler.
In short multi threading is many thread objects want to execute same piece of code for example many people online book tickets here peoples are thread object and tickets are that piece of code which is written in run() method.

Threading is achieved by two ways in a programming.
1) by extending Thread class.
2) by implementing Runnable interface

Example1:- TestThread.java

class TestThread extends Thread
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
TestThread t1=new TestThread();
t1.start();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
Output:-
C:\JAVATECH>javac TestThread.java
C:\JAVATECH>java TestThread
12345678910

Example2:- TestThread.java

class TestThread extends Thread
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
TestThread t1=new TestThread();
System.out.println(t1);
t1.start();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
}
}
Output:-
C:\JAVATECH>javac TestThread.java
C:\JAVATECH>java TestThread
Thread[Thread-0,5,main]
12345678910

Example3:- TestThread.java

class TestThread extends Thread
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
TestThread t1=new TestThread();
t1.setName("Amit");
System.out.println(t1);
t1.start();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
}
}
Output:-
C:\JAVATECH>javac TestThread.java
C:\JAVATECH>java TestThread
Thread[Amit,5,main]
12345678910

Example4:- TestThread.java

class TestThread extends Thread
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
TestThread t1=new TestThread();
t1.setPriority(1);    //range of priority is b/w 1 to 10
t1.setName("Amit");
System.out.println(t1);
t1.start();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
System.out.print(i);
}
}}
Output:-
C:\JAVATECH>javac TestThread.java
C:\JAVATECH>java TestThread
Thread[Amit,1,main]
12345678910

Example5:- TestThread.java

class TestThread extends Thread
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
TestThread t1=new TestThread();
t1.setName("Amit");
TestThread t2=new TestThread();
t2.setName("Sumit");
t1.start();
t2.start();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=1;i<=5;i++)
{
System.out.print(i);
}}}
Output:-
C:\JAVATECH>javac TestThread.java
C:\JAVATECH>java TestThread

{
try
{
Thread.sleep(1500);
}catch(Exception e){}
System.out.println("by "+Thread.currentThread().getName()+" i= "+i);
}}}
