Java Multithreading Basics: Thread Implementation

The basic steps to implement multi-threading in Java are as follows:

1. Create a subclass inherited from the Thread class, or a class implementing the Runnable interface.
2. Override the “`run()“` method in the subclass of the Thread class (if extending Thread) or the Runnable interface (if implementing Runnable).
3. Define the task logic to be executed by the thread in the subclass.
4. Create an instance of a child thread in the main thread.
5. Invoke the start() method of the child thread to launch the thread.
6. The thread starts executing and carries out the task logic.

It is important to note that if you inherit the Thread class, steps 4 and 5 can be combined into one step by directly creating an instance of the subclass and calling the start() method. On the other hand, if you implement the Runnable interface, you need to pass an instance of the class that implements the Runnable interface as a parameter to the constructor of the Thread class to create a Thread instance, and then call the start() method of that Thread instance.
