Key Terms

Thread
A lightweight process that can run concurrently with other threads.

Example: In a web server, each request can be handled by a separate thread.

Synchronization
A mechanism to control access to shared resources by multiple threads.

Example: Using synchronized methods to prevent two threads from modifying the same variable simultaneously.

Runnable
An interface that must be implemented by any class whose instances are intended to be executed by a thread.

Example: class MyRunnable implements Runnable { public void run() { ... } }

ExecutorService
An interface that provides a higher-level replacement for managing threads.

Example: ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);

Thread Pool
A collection of pre-initialized threads that can be reused for executing tasks.

Example: Thread pools help manage resource consumption efficiently.

Volatile
A keyword that indicates a variable's value will be modified by different threads.

Example: volatile int counter = 0;
