Multithreading Summary

Multithreading in Java allows multiple threads to execute simultaneously while sharing the same memory. The life cycle of a thread includes states such as New, Runnable, Running, Blocked/Waiting, and Terminated, with key concepts including the Thread class, Runnable interface, synchronization, and inter-thread communication methods. Best practices recommend using synchronization for shared resources, utilizing higher-level concurrency APIs, and avoiding excessive manual thread creation.

Class Note: Deep Dive into Java Multithreading (One-Page Summary)

1. What is Multithreading in Java?

- Multithreading is a process of executing multiple threads simultaneously.

- Threads share the same memory but execute independently.

2. Life Cycle of a Thread:

- New -> Runnable -> Running -> Blocked/Waiting -> Terminated

3. Key Concepts:

- Thread class & Runnable interface

- Synchronization (to prevent race conditions)

- volatile keyword (ensures visibility of changes across threads)

- wait(), notify(), notifyAll() methods for inter-thread communication

4. Deep Question Example:

Q: How does Java memory model (JMM) handle visibility and ordering of shared data in multithreading?

A: JMM defines rules for reading/writing shared variables. Synchronization blocks and volatile variables h

5. Best Practices:

- Always use synchronization for shared resources.

- Prefer higher-level concurrency APIs like ExecutorService.

- Avoid creating too many threads manually.
