    The document discusses the life cycle of a thread in Java. It describes the 5 states a thread can be in: New, Runnable, Running, Non-Runnable (Blocked), and Terminated. It also provides examples of how to create threads by extending the Thread class and implementing the Runnable interface. Threads are started using the start() method, which moves the thread from New to Runnable state.

    Thread Life Cycle

    What is Thread Life Cycle
    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:
    New
    Runnable
    Running
    Non-Runnable (Blocked)
    Terminated
    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.
    How to create thread
    There are two ways to create a thread:
    - By extending Thread class
    - By implementing Runnable interface.

    Thread class:
    Thread class provide constructors and methods to create and perform operations on a
    thread. Thread class extends Object class and implements Runnable interface.
    Starting a thread:
    start() method of Thread class is used to start a newly created thread. It performs
    following tasks:A new thread starts(with new callstack).
    The thread moves from New state to the Runnable state.
    When the thread gets a chance to execute, its target run() method will run.
    Java Thread Example by extending Thread class
    class Multi extends Thread{  
    public void run(){  
    System.out.println("thread is running...");  
    }  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
    Multi t1=new Multi();  
    t1.start();  
     }  
    }  
    Output:- thread is running...
    Java Thread Example by implementing Runnable interface
    class Multi3 implements Runnable{  
    public void run(){  
    System.out.println("thread is running...");  
    }  
      
    public static void main(String args[]){  
    Multi3 m1=new Multi3();  
    Thread t1 =new Thread(m1);  
    t1.start();  
     }  
    } 
    Output:- thread is running...
