Creating a new thread of execution by extending the Thread class
Creating a new thread of execution by implementing the Runnable interface
public class MyThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
for(int i=0; i<20; i++) {
System.out.println("In thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
}
public class Driver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyThread t = new MyThread();
t.setName("MyThread");
t.start();
for(int i=0; i<20; i++) {
System.out.println("In thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
}
Creating a new thread of execution by implementing the Runnable interface
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
for(int i=0; i<20; i++) {
System.out.println("In thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
}
public class Driver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyRunnable r = new MyRunnable();
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.setName("MyRunnable");
t.start();
for(int i=0; i<20; i++) {
System.out.println("In thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
}
The second method (implementing Runnable) is preferred over the first method (extending Thread)
