Understanding Multiple Threads in Java
Introduction In Java programming, achieving parallel execution of tasks is made possible using multithreading. This blog explores how to create and run multiple threads concurrently, why using start() is critical, how scheduling works, and additional tips like using sleep() for clearer outputs. Demonstrating Multiple Threads Let's start with a simple example. We define two threads—one to say “Hi” and another to say “Hello”. class HiThread extends Thread { public void run() { for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.println("Hi"); try { Thread.sleep(500); } catch(Exception e) {} } } } class HelloThread extends Thread { public void run() { for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.println("Hello"); try { Thread.sleep...
