The ability to run multiple programs or parts of programs (threads) in parallel is known as concurrency.A multi-threaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently and each part can handle a different task at the same time making optimal use of the available resources especially when your computer has multiple CPUs. Multi-threading enables you to write in a way where multiple activities can proceed concurrently in the same program.

A thread goes through various stages in its lifecycle. For example, a thread is born, started, runs, and then dies. New − A new thread begins its life cycle in the new state. It remains in this state until the program starts the thread. It is also referred to as a born thread. Runnable − After a newly born thread is started, the thread becomes runnable. A thread in this state is considered to be executing its task. Waiting − Sometimes, a thread transitions to the waiting state while the thread waits for another thread to perform a task. ...

Hence, by reading this article, you will learn everything about Maven automatic build tool and what it means in Java Eclipse Projects. Understanding Maven Maven is a popular automatic build tool that focuses ... Read More

In Java, the terms Path and ClassPath refer to different things and are used for different purposes. Let's discuss them one by one with a suitable example − Path The path environment variable is used to specify the set of directories that contains execution programs. When you try to execute a program from the command line, the operating system searches for the specified program in the current directory and, if available, executes it. In case the programs are not available in the current directory, the operating system verifies in the set of directories specified in the 'PATH' environment variable. Setting ... Read More

Java does not support the concept of default parameter however, you can achieve this usingMethod overloadingUsing method overloading if you define method with no arguments along with parametrized methods. Then you can call a method with zero arguments.Variable argumentsIn Java methods parameters accept arguments with three dots. These are known as variable arguments. Once you use variable arguments as a parameter method, while calling you can pass as many number of arguments to this method (variable number of arguments) or, you can simply call this method without passing any arguments.ExampleLive Demopublic class Sample {    void demoMethod(String... args) {   ...

Yes, you can define an interface inside a class and it is known as a nested interface. You can’t access a nested interface directly; you need to access (implement) the nested interface using the inner class or by using the name of the class holding this nested interface.ExampleLive Demopublic class Sample {    interface myInterface {       void demo();    }    class Inner implements myInterface {       public void demo() {          System.out.println("Welcome to Tutorialspoint");       }    }    public static void main(String args[]) {       Inner obj ...

Yes, you can define a class inside an interface. In general, if the methods of the interface use this class and if we are not using it anywhere else we will declare a class within an interface.Exampleinterface Library {    void issueBook(Book b);    void retrieveBook(Book b);    public class Book {       int bookId;       String bookName;       int issueDate;       int returnDate;    } } public class Sample implements Library {    public void issueBook(Book b) {       System.out.println("Book Issued");    }    public void retrieveBook(Book b) { ...

An interface with no methods in it is referred to as a marker interface, also known as a tagging interface. There are two basic design purposes of marker interfaces. Creates a common parent  It is used to provide a common parent interface for a group of related interfaces. When an interface like "eventlistener" is extended by dozens of other interfaces in the Java API, we can use a marker interface to create a common parent among a group of interfaces. For example, when an interface extends EventListener, the JVM knows that this particular interface is going to be used in an ... Read More
