Multithreading and details conpt in java

Question

Accepted Answer

Multithreading in Java allows multiple threads to execute concurrently, improving performance and responsiveness.

Multithreading in Java is achieved by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface.
Threads share the same memory space, so synchronization is necessary to prevent data corruption.
Java provides synchronized keyword, locks, and atomic classes for thread synchronization.
Concurrency issues like deadlock, race conditions, and thread interference can occur in multithreaded programs.
Java 5 introduced the java.util.concurrent package with classes like Executor, ThreadPoolExecutor, and Future for easier multithreading.
Example: Creating a thread by extending Thread class - class MyThread extends Thread { public void run() { // thread logic } }
Example: Creating a thread by implementing Runnable interface - class MyRunnable implements Runnable { public void run() { // thread logic } }
