Sir,

Kindly share your valuable knowledge about the Multi-Threaded concept in java.

Thanks

Multithreading allows two parts of the same program to run concurrently.

Multitasking is performing two or more tasks at the same time. Nearly all operating systems are capable of multitasking by using one of two multitasking techniques: process-based multitasking and thread-based multitasking.

Process-based multitasking is running two programs concurrently. Programmers refer to a program as a process. Therefore, you could say that process-based multitasking is program-based multitasking.

Thread-based multitasking is having a program perform two tasks at the same time. For example, a word processing program can check the spelling of words in a document while you write the document. This is thread-based multitasking.

A thread is part of a program that is running. Thread-based multitasking has multiple threads running at the same time (that is, multiple parts of a program running concurrently). Each thread is a different path of execution.

The Java run-time environment manages threads, unlike in process-based multitasking where the operating system manages switching between programs. Threads are processed asynchronously. This means that one thread can pause while other threads continue to process.
