Multithreading in Java

A thread in Java is a lightweight subprocess that allows for concurrent execution of tasks, improving performance and responsiveness. The life cycle of a thread includes states such as New, Runnable, Running, Blocked, Waiting, Timed Waiting, and Terminated. Threads can be created using the Thread class or the Runnable interface, and their priority influences execution order, though it is platform-dependent.
