Creating A Thread

The document explains three methods to create a thread in Java: extending the Thread class, implementing the Runnable interface, and using the Callable interface with ExecutorService. It provides code examples for each method, demonstrating how to execute threads and print their names. Additionally, it shows how to implement Runnable using a lambda expression for a more concise syntax.

Creating a Thread
How to create a thread?
• there are three ways to create a thread
1. extend Thread class

2. implement Runnable interface

3. implement Callable interface (requires ExecutorService)


// extending Thread
public class MyClass extends Thread {
@Override
public void run() {
[Link]("Thread '" + getName() + "' is being executed.");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MyClass().start(); we have implemented run(), but we run start()
[Link](
"Thread '" + [Link]().getName() + "' is being executed.");
}
}
Thread 'main' is being executed. Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed.
Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed. OR Thread 'main' is being executed.
// implementing Runnable
public class MyClass implements Runnable {
@Override
public void run() {
[Link](
"Thread '" + [Link]().getName() + "' is being executed.");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new MyClass()).start(); creating instance of Thread w/ run() implementation
[Link](
"Thread '" + [Link]().getName() + "' is being executed.");
}
}

Thread 'main' is being executed. Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed.


Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed. OR Thread 'main' is being executed.
// implementing Runnable with lambda expression
public class MyClass { no need for implements Runnable when using lambda

public static void main(String[] args) {


new Thread( implementation of run() method
() -> [Link]( "Thread '" + [Link]().getName()
+ "' is being executed."))
.start();

[Link](
"Thread '" + [Link]().getName() + "' is being executed.");
}
}

Thread 'main' is being executed. Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed.


Thread 'Thread-0' is being executed. OR Thread 'main' is being executed.
-> [Link]

-> [Link]
