Java Threads

A comprehensive overview of
threading in Java
What is a Thread?
• • A thread is a lightweight subprocess, the
smallest unit of processing.
• • Threads allow a program to operate more
efficiently by doing multiple tasks
simultaneously.
• • Threads share the process's memory and
resources.
Life Cycle of a Thread
• • New: Thread is created but not started.
• • Runnable: Thread is ready to run.
• • Running: Thread is executing.
• • Waiting/Blocked: Thread is waiting for
resources.
• • Terminated: Thread has completed its task.
Creating Threads in Java
• 1. Extending the Thread class:
• class MyThread extends Thread {
• public void run() {
• System.out.println("Thread running");
• }
• }
• 2. Implementing the Runnable interface:
• class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
• public void run() {
Thread Methods
• • start(): Starts the thread.
• • run(): Contains the code executed by the
thread.
• • sleep(): Puts the thread to sleep for a
specified time.
• • join(): Waits for a thread to die.
• • isAlive(): Checks if the thread is alive.
Thread Synchronization
• • Synchronization prevents multiple threads
from accessing shared resources
simultaneously.
• • Use the synchronized keyword to ensure
thread safety.
• Example:
• synchronized void method() {
• // critical section
• }
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Threads
• Advantages:
• • Better utilization of CPU.
• • Enhanced application performance.
• • Simultaneous task execution.

• Disadvantages:
• • Difficult to debug and test.
• • Risk of thread interference and deadlocks.
• • Increased complexity of code.
