Perform single task by multiple threads

Programs for Performing Multiple Tasks Using Multiple Threads

We can implement multiple run() methods to perform multiple tasks using multiple threads.

Code 1:

class Thread1 extends Thread{  
    public void run(){  
        System.out.println("First Task");  
    }  
}  

class Thread2 extends Thread{  
    public void run(){  
        System.out.println("Second Task");  
    }  
}  

class Main{  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
        Thread1 t1=new Thread1();  
        Thread2 t2=new Thread2();  
        
        t1.start();  
        t2.start();  
    }  
}  

Output:

Code 2:

The same code as above but using the anonymous objects that implements the runnable interface.

class Main{  
    public static void main(String args[]){  
    
        Runnable obj1=new Runnable(){  
            public void run(){  
              System.out.println("First Task");  
            }  
        };  
        
        Runnable obj2=new Runnable(){  
            public void run(){  
              System.out.println("Second Task");  
            }  
        };  
          
        Thread thread1=new Thread(obj1);  
        Thread thread2=new Thread(obj2);  
        
        thread1.start();  
        thread2.start();  
    }  
}

FAQs

1. What are threads?
   In java, threads refer to the path that a code follows during its execution. The Java Virtual Machine (J.V.M.) creates the main thread at the start of the program when the main() method of the program is invoked.
2. What happens when we call the start() method?
   As soon as, we call the start() method, the run() method of the thread is invoked.
