Thread Implementation Method

 

The first method inherits the Thread class and the second method implements the Runnable interface.

Method 1 (inheriting the Thread class ):

Java code

Package com. demo. thread;

 

Public class ThreadDemo1 extends Thread

{

Private int count = 5;

// Only initialize once

Private static int threadCount = 0;

Private int threadNumber = ++ threadCount;

Public ThreadDemo1 ()

{

System. out. println ("Making" + threadNumber );

}

Public void run ()

{

While (true)

{

System. out. println ("Thread" + threadNumber + "(" + count + ")");

If (-- count = 0)

{

Return;

}

}

}

Public static void main (String [] args)

{

For (int I = 0; I <5; I ++)

{

New ThreadDemo1 (). start ();

}

System. out. println ("All threads started! ");

}

}

 

Method 2 (implementing the Runnable interface ):

Java code

Package com. demo. thread;

 

Public class ThreadDemo2 implements Runnable

{

Private int count = 5;

Private static int threadCount = 0;

Private int threadNumber = ++ threadCount;

Public ThreadDemo2 ()

{

System. out. println ("Making" + threadNumber );

}

Public void run ()

{

While (true)

{

System. out. println ("Thread" + threadNumber + "(" + count + ")");

If (-- count = 0)

{

Return;

}

}

}

Public static void main (String [] args)

{

For (int I = 0; I <5; I ++)

{

ThreadDemo2 td = new ThreadDemo2 ();

New Thread (td). start ();

}

System. out. println ("All Threads started! ");

}

}
