Simple Threads Example

public class Clock extends Thread {

String strSound;

public Clock(String strSound){

this.strSound = strSound;

}

public void run(){

while (true){

System.out.println (strSound);

try{ this.sleep(1000);}// DOES NOT BLOCK

catch (InterruptedException e){}

}

}

public static void main (String arg[]){

Clock c1 = new Clock("Tick");

Clock c2 = new Clock("Tock");

c1.start();

c2.start();

}

}// class Clock

Order of execution

between c1 and c2

is not guaranteed!

Note use of infinite loop

in the run() method

This code can run while other

threads are being run!
