TOPIC : 1 . CREATION OF THREADS

2 . THREAD PRIORITY
INTRODUCTION :
THREAD : Thread is an individual task that has independent flow

of execution
Thread is in lang package.
ADVANTAGES :
Reduces maintenance cost , Development Time.
Parrallelized tasks.
CREATION OF THREAD :
There are two ways to create thread.
1) By Extendiing Thread Class
2) By Implementing Runnable Interface.

CREATION OF THREAD BY EXTENDING THREAD CLASS
RULES :
 Create a Sub Class of a Thread Class.

 Class must Override run() method .
 it may override other methods too.
 Create an Object of the Class that Extends Thread Class.
SYNTAX :
class MyThread extends Thread {
MyThread ( ) {
…...............;
…...............;
}
public void run ( ) // must override
{
…...............;
…...............;
}
…...............;
}
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyThread t=new MyThread ( ) ;
…...............;
t.start( );
…...............; } }
A program to create a Thread by Extending class
class MyThread extends Thread {

public void run ( ) { OUTPUT :
try {
for ( int k=0;k<5;k++ ) { ChildThread : 0
System.out.println (" ChildThread : "+k ); MainThread : 0
Thread.sleep ( 1000 ); } ChildThread : 1
} MainThread : 1
catch(InterruptedException e) { ChildThread : 2
System.out.println("ChildThread is Interrupted"); ChildThread : 3
class ThreadDemo { MainThread : 2
ChildThread : 4
MainThread : 3
MyThread t=new MyThread ( ) ; MainThread : 4
t.start ( );
try {
for ( int k=0;k<5;k++ ) {
System.out.println (" MainThread : "+k );
Thread.sleep ( 1000 ); }
}
catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("MainThread is Interrupted"); } } }
CRAETION OF THREAD BY IMPLEMENTS RUNNABLE
RULES :
• Create a thread class that will implement the runnable interface.
• In the thread class, write a function to override the run() method.
• Create an instance of the Thread class.
• The thread instance has a constructor which accepts the runnable object. Pass this object as a
parameter to the thread instance.
• Finally, call the start method of the thread instance.

SYNTAX:
Class MyThread implements runnable Interface {

public void run ( )
{
…...............;
…...............;
}
}
public class Example {
MyThread t=new MyThread();
Thread thread = new Thread(t);
…...............;
t.start( );
} }

A program to create a Thread by Runnable interface
class SampleThread implements Runnable{ OUTPUT:

Thread about to
public void run() { start...
System.out.println("Thread is under Running..."); Thread is under
for(int i= 1; i<=10; i++) {
System.out.println("i = " + i);
Running...
} i=1
} i=2
} i=3
i=4
public class My_Thread_Test {
i=5
public static void main(String[] args) { i=6
SampleThread threadObject = new SampleThread(); i=7
Thread thread = new Thread(threadObject); i=8
System.out.println("Thread about to start..."); i=9
thread.start();
}
i = 10
}
Priority of a Thread:
1. Introduction :
 Here we'll discuss how the Java thread scheduler executes threads on a priority basis.
 In Java, a thread's priority is an integer in the range 1 to 10.
 The larger the integer, the higher the priority.
 The thread scheduler uses this integer from each thread to determine which one should be allowed to execute.

2.Types of Priorities :
The Thread class defines three types of priorities:
1. MIN_PRIORITY - 1
2. NORM_PRIORITY - 5
3. MAX_PRIORITY - 10
NORM_PRIORITY is the default priority for a new Thread.

3) METHODS RELATED TO THREAD PRIORITY :
• Java's Thread class provides methods for checking the thread’s priority and for modifying it.
• getpriority()
• Setpriority()
• The getPriority() instance method returns the integer that represents its priority.
• The setPriority() instance method takes an integer between 1 and 10 for changing the thread's
priority.
• If we pass a value outside the 1-10 range, the method will throw an IllegalArgument Exception.

Example:
import java.lang.*;
public class ThreadPriorityExample extends Thread
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("Inside the run() method");
}
public static void main(String argvs[])
{
ThreadPriorityExample th1 = new ThreadPriorityExample();
System.out.println("Priority of the thread th1 is : " + th1.getPriority());
th1.setPriority(6);
th2.setPriority(3);
th3.setPriority(9);
System.out.println("Currently Executing The Thread : " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
System.out.println("Priority of the main thread is : " + Thread.currentThread().getPriority());
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(10);
System.out.println("Priority of the main thread is : " + Thread.currentThread().getPriority());
}
}
Output:
Priority of the thread th1 is : 5

Currently Executing The Thread : main
Priority of the main thread is : 5
Priority of the main thread is : 10

THREAD : Thread is an individual task that has independent flow

 Create a Sub Class of a Thread Class.

class MyThread extends Thread {

• Create a thread class that will implement the runnable interface.

• In the thread class, write a function to override the run() method.

• Create an instance of the Thread class.

• Finally, call the start method of the thread instance.

class SampleThread implements Runnable{ OUTPUT:

 In Java, a thread's priority is an integer in the range 1 to 10.

 The larger the integer, the higher the priority.

The Thread class defines three types of priorities:

3. MAX_PRIORITY - 10

NORM_PRIORITY is the default priority for a new Thread.

• The getPriority() instance method returns the integer that represents its priority.

Priority of the thread th1 is : 5
