In Java, it is possible to create and start a Thread
inline, without creating a separate class. This can be done using a lambda expression or an anonymous inner class.
Here's an example of how you can create and start a Thread
using a lambda expression:
Thread thread = new Thread(() -> { // code to be executed by the thread }); thread.start();
In this example, a Thread
is created and started using a lambda expression that specifies the code to be executed by the thread. The lambda expression is passed to the Thread
constructor, and the start
method is called to start the thread.
Here's an example of how you can create and start a Thread
using an anonymous inner class:
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { // code to be executed by the thread } }); thread.start();
In this example, a Thread
is created and started using an anonymous inner class that implements the Runnable
interface and overrides the run
method. The inner class is passed to the Thread
constructor, and the start
method is called to start the thread.
It's important to note that these approaches are generally only used when you need to create a Thread
inline and do not need to reuse the Thread
code elsewhere in the program. If you
