The document discusses the life cycle of a thread in 5 states - New, Runnable, Running, Non-Runnable (Blocked), and Terminated. It also lists some key methods of the Thread class like getName(), getPriority(), isAlive(), join(), run(), sleep(), and start(). An example is provided of creating an Arithmetic class that extends Thread to perform arithmetic operations on two numbers in separate threads.

A thread can be in one of the five states. According to sun, there is only 4 states in thread life cycle in java new, runnable, non-runnable and terminated. There is no running state.
But for better understanding the threads, we are explaining it in the 5 states.
The life cycle of the thread in java is controlled by JVM. The java thread states are as follows: 1) New The thread is in new state if you create an instance of Thread class but before the invocation of start() method.
2) Runnable The thread is in runnable state after invocation of start() method, but the thread scheduler has not selected it to be the running thread.
3) Running The thread is in running state if the thread scheduler has selected it.
4) Non-Runnable (Blocked) This is the state when the thread is still alive, but is currently not eligible to run.
5) Terminated A thread is in terminated or dead state when its run() method exits. Q2.List Thread class methods ?
Java's multithreading system is built upon the Thread class, its methods, and its companion interface, Runnable. To create a new thread, your program will either extend Thread or implement the Runnableinterface. The Thread class defines several methods that help manage threads:
Method Meaning
getName Obtain thread’s name
getPriority Obtain thread’s priority
isAlive Determine if a thread is still running
join Wait for a thread to terminate
run Entry point for the thread
sleep Suspend a thread for a period of time
start Start a thread by calling its run method
Now let's see how to use a Thread that begins with the main java thread that all Java programs have. Q3.Create Arithmetic class which extends Thread to perform all operations. import java.io.*; import java.net.*; import java.util.*; public class Arithmetic extends Thread { int first,second; Arithmetic(int a,int b) { first=a; second=b; } public void run() { try {
System.out.println("Addition of "+first+"+"+second+" is: "+(first+second)); Thread.sleep(1000); System.out.println("Subtraction of "+first+"-"+second+" is: "+(first-second)); Thread.sleep(1000); System.out.println("Multiplication of "+first+"*"+second+" is: "+(first*second)); Thread.sleep(1000); System.out.println("Division of "+first+"/"+second+" is: "+(first/second)); Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();
} } public static void main(String a[])throws IOException { BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Enter the first no:"); int no1=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine()); System.out.println("Enter the second no:"); int no2=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
Arithmetic a1=new Arithmetic(no1,no2);
a1.start();
} } OUTPUT:- Enter the first no: 10 Enter the second no: 2 Addition of 10+2 is: 12 Subtraction of 10-2 is: 8 Multiplication of 10*2 is: 20 Division of 10/2 is: 5
