Java Lesson 5: Multithreading (Detailed)

Multithreading in Java allows multiple threads to run concurrently within a program. A thread is a
lightweight process that executes independently.

Multithreading improves performance, responsiveness, and efficient use of system resources. It is


commonly used in games, web servers, and real-time applications.

Java supports multithreading using the Thread class and Runnable interface. To create a thread, a
class can extend the Thread class or implement the Runnable interface.

The start() method begins thread execution, while the run() method contains the code executed by
the thread.

Thread lifecycle includes new, runnable, running, waiting, and terminated states.

Synchronization is used to control access to shared resources and prevent data inconsistency.

Methods such as sleep(), join(), and yield() control thread execution.

Multithreading helps programs perform multiple tasks simultaneously, such as downloading files
while playing music.

Understanding multithreading is important for developing efficient and high-performance Java


applications.
