Multithreading_and_Concurrency
Multithreading allows a program to execute multiple threads simultaneously, making efficient use of
CPU resources. Concurrency in Java involves managing threads and ensuring that shared data is
accessed safely.
Key Concepts:
- Creating Threads: Using the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface.
- Thread Lifecycle: Stages include new, runnable, running, blocked, and terminated.
- Synchronization: Techniques to prevent race conditions when multiple threads access shared data.
- Concurrency Utilities: Classes in the java.util.concurrent package (Executors, Locks, etc.).
Example:
--------------------------------
class MyThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread is running.");
}
}
