Computer Programming 2 - 09 Hands-On Activity 2

This document contains 3 examples of Java code demonstrating different features of threads and the Thread class. The first example shows extending the Thread class and overriding the run() method. The second example demonstrates setting the name and priority of multiple threads. The third example shows using sleep(), join(), and isAlive() methods to control the execution and termination of threads.

09 Hands-on Activity 2

Answers:

Extending the Thread class:


public class ThreadDemo extends Thread {
public static void main (String [] args) {
ThreadDemo thread = new ThreadDemo();
thread.start();
System.out.println("Outside of a thread");
}
public void run () {
System.out.println("Running in a thread");
}
}
Output:

The following sample program shows the use of setName (), getName (), and setPriority ().
public class ThreadDemo extends Thread {

public static void main (String [] args) {


ThreadDemo t1 = new ThreadDemo();
ThreadDemo t2 = new ThreadDemo();
ThreadDemo t3 = new ThreadDemo();

t1.setName("One");
t2.setName("Two");
t3.setName("Three");
t1.setPriority(4);
t2.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
t3.setPriority(8);

t1.start();
t2.start();
t3.start();
}
public void run(){
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " is running.");
}
}
Output:

The following sample program shows the use of sleep (), join (), and is Alive ().
public class ThreadDemo extends Thread {

public static void main(String[] args) {


ThreadDemo t1 = new ThreadDemo();
ThreadDemo t2 = new ThreadDemo();
t1.start();
//starts 2nd thread after 2 sec or if it’s dead
try {
t1.join(2000);
}
catch(InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
t2.start();
//waits for the threads to terminate
try {
t1.join();
t2.join();
}
catch(InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Thread-0 is alive: " + t1.isAlive() );
System.out.println("Thread-1 is alive: " + t2.isAlive() );
}

public void run() {


System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " is running.");
try {
Thread.sleep(3000); //suspends thread for 3 seconds
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " has ended.");

}
}
