Defining a thread in java

How to define a thread in java?

There are two ways to define a thread in java.

1.By implementing Runnable interface

2.By extending Thread class

1. By implementing Runnable interface

public class Mythread implements Runnable

{

public void run() {

System.out.print("thread executed");

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Mythread mt=new Mythread();

Thread t1=new Thread(mt);

t1.start();

         

               System.out.print("main thread executed");

          

}

}

2.By extending Thread class

public class Mythread extends Thread

{

public void run() {

System.out.print("thread executed");

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Mythread mt=new Mythread();

mt.start();

System.out.print("main thread executed");

}

}
