1 CreateThread

The document presents two Java examples of creating threads: one using the Runnable interface and the other by extending the Thread class. In both examples, a child thread counts down from 5 while the main thread does the same, demonstrating concurrent execution. The child thread prints its countdown and exits, while the main thread continues until it completes its countdown and exits as well.
