Using the Thread Class: Thread(String
Name)
public class MyThread1 {
// Main method
public static void main(String argvs[]) {
/*creating an object of the Thread class using
the constructor Thread(String name) */
Thread t= new Thread("My first thread");
// the start() method moves the thread to the active state
t.start();
// getting the thread name by invoking the getName() method
String str = t.getName();
System.out.println(str);
}
}
Output:
Back My first thread

Extending Thread class Example
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...

Using the Thread Class: Thread(Runnable r, String
name)
public class MyThread2 implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Now the thread is running ...");
}
// main method
public static void main(String argvs[]) {
// creating an object of the class MyThread2
Runnable r1 = new MyThread2();
// creating an object of the class Thread using Thread(Runnable r, String na
me)
Thread th1 = new Thread(r1, "My new thread");
// the start() method moves the thread to the active state
th1.start();
// getting the thread name by invoking the getName() method
String str = th1.getName();
System.out.println(str);
} Output:
} My new thread

Now the thread is running ...

Implementing Runnable interface Example
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);
// Using the constructor Thread(Runnable r)
t1.start();
}
} Output:
thread is running...

private int repetitions;
public PrintLetterTask(char letter, int repetitions) {
this.letter = letter;
this.repetitions = repetitions;
}

Example without Synchronization
class Table { }
//method not synchronized public void run() {
void printTable(int n) { t.printTable(5);
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { }
System.out.println(n * i); } class MyThread2 extends Thread {
try { Table t;
Thread.sleep(400); MyThread2(Table t) {
} catch (Exception e) { this.t = t;
System.out.println(e); }
} public void run() {
} t.printTable(100);
} }
} class MyThread1 extends Thread { }
Table t;
MyThread1(Table t) {
this.t = t;
