Basic Threads

In real life, you'd put your own code in the run() method.

---

extending Thread

// ThreadDemo1.java


// This class extends Thread.

class ThreadDemo1 extends Thread
  {


  // Main.  Create one of these and then start it.

  public static void main (String[] args)
    {
    Thread thread = new ThreadDemo1();
    thread.start();
    }


  // This method is run as a separate thread.

  public void run()
    {
    }


  };

implementing Runnable

// ThreadDemo2.java


// This class implements Runnable.

class ThreadDemo2 implements Runnable
  {


  // Main.  Create a thread and then start it.

  public static void main (String[] args)
    {
    Thread thread = new Thread (new ThreadDemo2() );
    thread.start();
    }


  // This method is run as a separate thread.

  public void run()
    {
    }


  };
