Java Threads
Threads allows a program to operate more efficiently by doing multiple things at the same
time,
Threads can be used to perform complicated tasks in the background without interrupting the
main program.
Creating a Thread
There are two ways to create a thread.
It can be created by extending the Thread class and overriding its run() method: Multithreading in Java
Multithreading in Java is a process of executing muhiple threads simultaneously.
A thread is a lightweight sub-process, the smallest unit of processing, Multiprocessing and
‘multithreading, both are used to achieve multitasking.
However, we use multithreading than multiprocessing because threads use a shared memory
area. They don't allocate separate memory area so saves memory, and context-switching
between the threads takes less time than process.
Java Multithreading is mostly used in games, animation, ete
A thread can be in one of the following states:
NEW ~ A thread that has not yet started is inthis tat.
RUNNABLE ~ A thread executing in the Java virtual machine is in this state.
BLOCKED - A thread that is blocked waiting for a monitor lock isin this state.
WAITING — A thread that is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a
particular action i in this state.
‘TIMED_WAITING ~ A thread that is waiting for another thread to perform an action
for up to a specified waiting time isin this state.
‘TERMINATED — A thread that has exited isin tis state
