Multithreading in Java
What is Multithreading
Imagine you are a developer working on a complex application that processes large amounts of data. Users expect instant response, and slow operations such as file uploads or network requests can significantly slow down the application. This is where multithreading comes to the rescue. In this chapter, we will discuss what multithreading is and how it differs from single-threading. You will learn why multithreading is so important for creating fast and responsive applications.
Multithreading in Real Life
Imagine that your computer is a large office, and the tasks you want to accomplish are different projects in that office. If you are working on one project at the same time, this is called single-threading.
However, if you have multiple employees, each working on a different project at the same time, this is similar to multithreading. In programming, these "collaborators" are called threads. Threads allow a program to do several things at the same time, such as upload files, process data, and respond to user actions without keeping the user waiting.
Note
Multithreading is especially useful when you have tasks that can run independently of each other or take a long time to complete. It helps make programs faster and more responsive.
