What is thread? Explain two ways of creating a thread in JAVA with example.

Example 1: creating thread in java example

class Multi3 implements Runnable{  
public void run(){  
System.out.println("thread is running...");  
}  
  
public static void main(String args[]){  
Multi3 m1=new Multi3();  
Thread t1 =new Thread(m1);  
t1.start();  
 }  
}

Example 2: create thread java

class RunnableObject implements Runnable {
   private Thread t;
   private String threadName;
   
   RunnableObject( String name) {
      System.out.println("Creating " +  threadName );
      threadName = name;
      t = new Thread (this, threadName);
   }
   
   public void run() {
      System.out.println("Running " +  threadName );
   }
   
   public void start () {
      System.out.println("Starting " +  threadName );
      t.start ();
   }
}

public class TestThread {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      RunnableObject R1 = new RunnableObject( "Thread-1");
      R1.start();
   }   
}
