What is Multiple Threads?
Is refer to the concurrent execution of two or
more threads in a program.
A thread is the smallest unit of a CPU's execution
A program can have multiple threads running at
the same time
Is a technique in which multiple threads are used
to perform different tasks in parallel within a
single program.
Why Use Multiple Threads
Improved Performance and Responsiveness:-
By using multiple threads, programs can perform multiple
operations concurrently, which improves efficiency and
responsiveness.
Efficient CPU Utilization:- multiple threads can run
simultaneously on different cores. This leads to better CPU
utilization
Concurrency in Applications:-Multithreading is
useful in applications that need to handle several tasks at
once,
Thread Creation in Java
1) Using the Thread Class:-In Java, a thread can be
created by subclassing the Thread class and overriding its run()
method.
example:
class MyThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread is running");
}
}
MyThread t = new MyThread();
t.start();
2) Using the Runnable Interface:- This allows the class
to implement the run() method, and then pass an instance of the
class to a Thread object.
Example:
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread is running");
}
}
MyRunnable r = new MyRunnable();
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thread Life Cycle
New:- Thread object created.
Runnable:- Ready to run but waiting for CPU.
Running:-Actively executing.
 Blocked/Waiting:- Waiting for a resource.
 Terminated:- Completed execution.
Advantages of Multiple Threads
 Improved Program Performance:- programs can be
executed more efficiently, especially on multi-core processors.
 Better Responsiveness:-multithreading ensures that the
program remains responsive by delegating time-consuming operations
to separate threads
 Resource Sharing:-Threads within the same program share the
same memory and resources, such as variables and files,
 Asynchronous Execution:-Multiple threads can be used to
perform tasks asynchronously,
 Simplifies Complex Problems:Problems like simulations,
real-time event handling, and parallel processing of large datasets are
easier to implement with thread
Challenges of Multiple Threads
Race Conditions:-When multiple threads access shared
resources simultaneously without proper synchronization,
Deadlock:-when two or more threads are blocked indefinitely,
waiting for each other to release resources.
Thread Management:-Managing multiple threads can be
complex, especially in applications with a large number of threads.
Context Switching:-When multiple threads share the CPU, the
operating system may need to frequently switch between threads,
Difficulty in Debugging:-Multithreaded programs are harder
to debug because of timing issues, non-deterministic behavior, and
race conditions.
Conclusion
Multi-threading boosts performance and
resource utilization.
Java simplifies thread management with
Thread and Runnable.
Effective for real-world applications like
banking, gaming, and data processing
