Choosing Best Approach Among Implementing Runnable Interface or entends Thread Class.

Previously we have discussed about

What is Main Thread In Java ?

Java provides two ways to create a child threads first is by implementing a Runnable Interface and second is by extending the Thread class.Now one questions comes in mind which approach is better.

* The limitations with extends thread is that if you extend the Thread class , you can not extend any other class, because java does not supports multiple inheritence. On other hand if you implement the Runnable Interface you can also extends any class.

* Implements Runnable makes the code loosely-coupled and easier to read. Because the code is split into two classes.while "extends Thread"  makes the code tightly coupled because , Single class contains the thread code as well as the code that needs to be done by the thread.

Example Implementing Runnable Interface:

public class Test implements Runnable{

@Override

public void run() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

}

}

Example Extends Thread Class:

public class Test extends Thread {

public void run() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

}

}
