Summary of "13.2 Multithreading in Java Practical"
Video Summary
The video titled "13.2 Multithreading in Java Practical" provides a practical demonstration of implementing Multithreading in Java. The speaker explains the concept of threads, emphasizing that by default, Java programs run on a single main Thread. The demonstration includes the creation of two classes, Hi and Hello, each containing a method to print their respective strings five times.
Key Points Covered
- Single Thread Execution: Initially, the execution of methods is handled by the main Thread, which runs sequentially.
- Using
Thread.sleep(): The speaker introduces theThread.sleep()method to pause execution, allowing for a delay between prints. The duration is specified in milliseconds (e.g., 500 milliseconds for half a second). - Need for Parallel Execution: The video discusses the limitations of sequential execution and the need to run methods in parallel to improve efficiency.
- Creating Threads: To achieve parallel execution, the speaker demonstrates how to extend the
Threadclass in Java. This involves overriding therun()method, which is called when a Thread is started. - Starting Threads: The
start()method is used to initiate the threads. The speaker explains that both threads may start simultaneously, leading to unpredictable output order due to the operating system's Thread scheduling. - Thread Scheduling: The speaker explains that the operating system's scheduler determines which Thread to run based on various criteria, which may result in random execution order.
- Synchronization of Output: To ensure a predictable output order (e.g., alternating "Hi" and "Hello"), the speaker suggests adding a delay between starting the two threads.
- Future Topics: The video concludes with a mention of the next topic, which will cover using interfaces for Multithreading, particularly to address the limitation of Java's single inheritance.
