Multi-Threading

Java is multi-threaded.

There are two ways to work with threads:

Create a class that extends the Java "Thread" class
Create a class that implements Runnable

In both cases:

The new class must overload the "run" method
Each object of the class created with "new" is a separate thread
A thread is started by calling its "start" method
A thread is stopped by calling its "stop" method
Thread synchronisation is available ("join", "yield" etc.)
