Java Multithreading Example Program

The document explains multithreading in Java, which allows for the simultaneous execution of multiple threads to enhance performance and create interactive applications. It outlines the need for multithreading, methods of the Thread class, and ways to create threads, either by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface. A sample Java program is provided to demonstrate the implementation of multithreading using the Thread class.

Java Program to Demonstrate Multi-Threading (10 Marks)

Multithreading in Java:

Multithreading is a process of executing multiple threads simultaneously to achieve parallelism.

A thread is the smallest unit of a process. Java supports multithreading through the Thread class and
Runnable interface.

Need for Multithreading:

1. Efficient utilization of CPU.

2. Faster execution of tasks.

3. Helps in creating interactive applications.

4. Enables concurrent execution of independent tasks.

Methods of Thread Class:

1. start() – starts the execution of a thread.

2. run() – contains the code that will run in the thread.

3. sleep(ms) – pauses execution for given milliseconds.

4. getName() – returns the thread's name.

5. setName() – assigns a name to the thread.

6. join() – waits for a thread to finish execution.

Creating Threads:

There are two ways:

1. Extending Thread class

2. Implementing Runnable interface

Below is a program demonstrating multithreading using Thread class.

Java Code:

// Java Program to Demonstrate Multi-Threading (10 Marks)

class Worker extends Thread {


public void run() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
[Link]([Link]().getName() + " executing: " + i);
try {
[Link](500); // Pause for 0.5 seconds
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
[Link](e);
}
}
}
}

public class MultiThreadDemo {


public static void main(String[] args) {

Worker t1 = new Worker();


Worker t2 = new Worker();

[Link]("Worker-1");
[Link]("Worker-2");

[Link](); // Start first thread


[Link](); // Start second thread
}
}
