How do I create threads in Java?

In Java, you can create threads by extending the Thread class or implementing the Runnable interface. Which method would you like to know more about?

Can you explain the Runnable interface?

Sure! The Runnable interface has a single method, run(), that you need to implement. You can then create a thread by passing an instance of your Runnable implementation to a Thread object.

What is the difference between extending Thread and implementing Runnable?

Extending Thread allows you to create a thread directly, while implementing Runnable lets you separate the task from the thread itself, allowing for more flexibility.

Can you show me a simple example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

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

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