到目前为止,我们仅用到两个线程:主线程和一个子线程。然而,你的程序可以创建所需的更多线程。例如,下面的程序创建了三个子线程:
// Create multiple threads.
class NewThread implements Runnable {
String name; // name of thread
Thread t;
NewThread(String threadname) {
name = threadname;
t = new Thread(this, name);
System.out.println(“New thread: ” + t);
t.start(); // Start the thread
}
// This is the entry point for thread.
public void run() {
try {
for(int i = 5; i > 0; i–) {
System.out.println(name + “: ” + i);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(name + “Interrupted”);
}
System.out.println(name + ” exiting.”);
}
}
class MultiThreadDemo {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new NewThread(“One”); // start threads
new NewThread(“Two”);
new NewThread(“Three”);
try {
// wait for other threads to end
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(“Main thread Interrupted”);
}
System.out.println(“Main thread exiting.”);
}
}
程序输出如下所示:
New thread: Thread[One,5,main] New thread: Thread[Two,5,main] New thread: Thread[Three,5,main] One: 5
Two: 5
Three: 5
One: 4
Two: 4
Three: 4
One: 3
Three: 3
Two: 3
One: 2
Three: 2
Two: 2
One: 1
Three: 1
Two: 1
One exiting.
Two exiting.
Three exiting.
Main thread exiting.
如你所见,一旦启动,所有三个子线程共享CPU。注意main()中对sleep(10000)的调用。这使主线程沉睡十秒确保它最后结束。
