1) There are three ways to create Java multi-threading:
1. Inheriting the thread class
2. Implement the Runnable interface
3. Implement the Callable interface
The first type:
1 //inherit the thread class2 classExtendsthreadextendsthread{3 Public voidrun () {4 //Do your stuff5 }6 }7Extendsthread e =NewExtendsthread ();8E.start ();View Code
The second type:
1 //implementing the Runnable interface2 classImplerunnablethreadImplementsrunnable{3 @Override4 Public voidrun () {5 //Do your stuff6 }7 }8Implerunnablethread IR =NewImplerunnablethread ();9Thread T =NewThread (IR);TenT.start ();View Code
The third type is provided after jdk1.5:
1 //implementing the Callable Interface2 classImplecallablethreadImplementscallable{3 @Override4 PublicObject Call ()throwsException {5 //TODO do stuff6 return NULL;7 }8 }9Implecallablethread IC =NewImplecallablethread ();Tenfuturetask<string> task =NewFuturetask<string>(IC); One NewThread (Task, "Threads with a return value"). Start ();View Code
2) You can see that the thread starts with the Start method, why? Open Start () source can be seen, in the Thread class start () called the Private native void Start0 (); The native keyword means that the underlying function of the operating system is transferred, and such technology becomes JNI (Java native Interface).
Look at the execution of the thread:
1 for ( int i =0;i<5;i++) { 2 Thread thread = new Thread ("+i) { 3 public void run () { 4 System . OUT.PRINTLN ("Run ...." + GetName ()); 5 6 }; 7 Thread.Start (); 8 }

3) Although the order in which threads are started is sequential, the order in which threads are executed is not ordered, because threads are executed in parallel rather than sequentially, and the order in which they are executed is determined by the JVM and the operating system.
4) If you use both the inherited thread class and the Runnable interface, which run method is executed?
1 NewThread (NewRunnable () {2 @Override3 Public voidrun () {4 //Do your stuff 15 }6 }){7 Public voidrun () {8 //Do your stuff 29 }Ten};View Code
The above code is equivalent to the new thread (new Runnable () {run ()}) {Run ()}, because the Thread class itself implements the Runnable interface, so if you override the Run method, it overrides the parent class method. So a second run method is executed.
The next article explains the differences between the three ways to create.
