There are two ways to create threads in methods.

a) by extending the Thread class Synchronization
b) by implementing the Runnable interface
Synchronization is a way of controlling the
access of a method or a block by multiple
threads. Only one thread can enter into a
method or a block which has been declared as
synchronized. Synchronization is one of the
way to achieve thread safety.

Garbage Collection
Removing unwanted objects or abandoned objects from the memory is
called garbage collection. Garbage collection is done automatically in
java. You need not to remove the unwanted objects explicitly. Garbage
collector thread does this for you.
Cloning
Cloning is a process of creating an exact copy of an existing object in the
memory. Cloning may be shallow or deep. In java, clone() method is
used to create a clone of an object.
Interfaces
A Java interface is a bit like a class, except a Java interface can only
contain method signatures and fields. An Java interface cannot contain
an implementation of the methods, only the signature (name, parameters
and exceptions) of the method.
You can use interfaces in Java as a way to achieve polymorphism.
