What are some examples of using threads in Java?

In Java, threads can be used for various tasks. For example, you can create a thread to handle user input while another thread processes data.

Can you show me a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

class MyThread extends Thread {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Thread is running!");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyThread thread = new MyThread();
        thread.start();
    }
}

What about using Runnable instead of extending Thread?

Great question! Using Runnable is often preferred. Here's an example:

class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Runnable is running!");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread thread = new Thread(new MyRunnable());
        thread.start();
    }
}
