Using the Thread Class: Thread(String
Name)
public class MyThread1 {
// Main method
public static void main(String argvs[]) {
/*creating an object of the Thread class using
the constructor Thread(String name) */
Thread t= new Thread("My first thread");
// the start() method moves the thread to the active state
[Link]();
// getting the thread name by invoking the getName() method
String str = [Link]();
[Link](str);
}
}
Output:
Back My first thread

Extending Thread class Example
class Multi extends Thread{
public void run(){
[Link]("thread is running...");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Multi t1=new Multi();
[Link]();
}
}
Output:
thread is running...

Using the Thread Class: Thread(Runnable r, String
name)
public class MyThread2 implements Runnable {
public void run() {
[Link]("Now the thread is running ...");
}
// main method
public static void main(String argvs[]) {
// creating an object of the class MyThread2
Runnable r1 = new MyThread2();
// creating an object of the class Thread using Thread(Runnable r, String na
me)
Thread th1 = new Thread(r1, "My new thread");
// the start() method moves the thread to the active state
[Link]();
// getting the thread name by invoking the getName() method
String str = [Link]();
[Link](str);
} Output:
} My new thread
Back
Now the thread is running ...

Implementing Runnable interface Example
class Multi3 implements Runnable{
public void run(){
[Link]("thread is running...");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
Multi3 m1=new Multi3();
Thread t1 =new Thread(m1);
// Using the constructor Thread(Runnable r)
[Link]();
}
} Output:
thread is running...

Example without Synchronization
class Table { }
//method not synchronized public void run() {
void printTable(int n) { [Link](5);
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { }
[Link](n * i); } class MyThread2 extends Thread {

} }
} class MyThread1 extends Thread { }
Table t;
MyThread1(Table t) {
this.t = t;
