=> Multitasking :-
 Performing multiple task at single time

 Examples :
o When we perform multiple task for example
opening vlc, word, notepad, browser on
single system etc

 Multitasking use the concept of context


switching internally

 Multitasking can be achieved by 2 ways :-


1. Process based multitasking (Multiprocessing)
2. Thread based multitasking (Multithreading)

 Multitasking is used to reduce the ideal time of


CPU.

=> Multiprocessing :-
 Multiprocessing is the part when one system is
connected with multiple processor (CPU)
 Multiprocessing is best suitable at system level
or OS level

=> Multithreading :-
 Multithreading is the part which which multiple
threads (sub-process) are executed at single
time
 Examples :
1. Word
2. VLC
3. Games
4. Animations
5. Browser
6. Web-servers
etc

 Multithreading is mostly implemented by java


itself, we have to implement less part of
multithreading.
 Java provides API for multithreading :-
1. Thread
2. Runnable
3. ThreadGroup
4. Concureency
5. ThreadPool

=> What is difference between Process & Thread


?
1. Process is the heavy-weight task performing
multiple tasks
Thread is the light-weight sub-process
performing single task

2. Process does not depends on each other


Threads depends on each other

3. Context switching is difficult in process (takes


more time)
Context switching is easy in threads (takes less
time)

3. Process shares the different address space


Threads shares the same address space

4. Process does not require synchronization


Threads requires synchronization

=> How to create threads :


-> There are 2 ways to create threads :-
1. By using "Thread" class
2. By using "Runnable" interface

=> What is "Thread" :-


 Thread is the pre-defined class which is present
in java.lang package

 Syntax :
class Thread implements Runnable
{
//constructors

//methods
run()
start()
etc
}

=> What is "Runnable" :-


 Runnable is pre-defined interface present in
java.lang package

 Syntax :
interface Runnable
{
//method
run()
}

=> Which is better way to create thread, Thread


or Runnable ?
-> Runnable is better way to create threads in
java because if we inherit Thread class then we
were not able to inherit any other class as multiple
inheritance is not supported in java but if we inherit
Runnable interface then we can inherit more
interfaces and can inherit the class also
