A thread is a lightweight process that exists within a program to perform tasks. A single-threaded process only has one thread, while a multi-threaded process contains multiple threads that allow different tasks to be handled simultaneously, improving performance over single-threaded programs by enabling parallel execution. Multithreading is important in Java and allows applications to have reduced computation time by running many tasks at once in a single process.
threading and multi threading in java
- 2. A thread is a lightweight process which exists within a program and executed to perform a special task.
- 3. A process that has only one thread is referred to as a single-threaded process. A process with multiple threads is referred to as a multi-threaded process. Threading concept is very important in Java through which we can increase the speed of any application.
- 4. In single threaded environment, operations are executes sequentially, next operation can execute when the previous one is complete.
- 5. A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run. Each part can handle different task at the same time.
- 6. Multithreading is allows a program to execute many tasks at the same time. In the multithreading concept, several multiple tasks are run in a single process or program.
- 7. when you use MS-WORD you perform a many different tasks such as printing, spell checking and so on, at a time.
- 8. Reduces the computation time. Improves performance of an application. Threads share the same address space so it saves the memory.
