JAVA SCRIPT
Slide 1: Title
Creating Thread and Creating Multiple Threads in Java
Script:
“This presentation explains thread creation in Java and the concept of multiple threads as
prescribed in the VTU syllabus.”
Slide 2: Definition of Thread (2 Marks)
Content:
● A thread is a lightweight sub-process
● It is the smallest unit of CPU execution
● Multiple threads share same memory space
Script:
“According to Java, a thread is a lightweight sub-process and the smallest unit of execution that
shares memory with other threads.”
Slide 3: Multithreading (Definition)
Content:
● Multithreading allows concurrent execution
● Improves CPU utilization
● Increases program efficiency
Script:
“Multithreading is the ability of a Java program to execute two or more threads simultaneously
for better performance.”
Slide 4: Need for Multithreading
Content:
● Efficient CPU usage
● Faster execution
● Better responsiveness
● Used in server and real-time systems
Script:
“Multithreading improves system performance by utilizing CPU resources efficiently and is
commonly used in real-time and server applications.”
Slide 5: Ways to Create Thread in Java
Content:
1. By extending Thread class
2. By implementing Runnable interface
Script:
“Java provides two standard methods to create threads: extending the Thread class and
implementing the Runnable interface.”
Slide 6: Creating Thread by Extending Thread Class
Content:
● Extend Thread class
● Override run() method
● Call start() method
Script:
“In this method, a class extends the Thread class and overrides the run method which contains
the thread logic.”
BANKING CODE LINE EXPLAINATION
Line-by-Line Understanding (Very Easy)
🔹 BankAccount class
● Represents real bank account
● balance is shared by all threads
🔹 withdraw() method
● Prints which customer is withdrawing
● Checks balance
● Deducts money if possible
🔹 Customer implements Runnable
● Each customer is a thread
● run() method contains thread logic
🔹 Main class
● Creates one shared bank account
● Creates three threads (customers)
● Calls start() → JVM runs threads concurrently
IN SHORT
In this program, multithreading is implemented using the Runnable interface.
Each customer is represented as a thread accessing the same bank account object.
Multiple threads execute concurrently and the JVM controls the execution order.
Pros and cons
Pros (Advantages)
1. Simulates Real-Life Banking Concurrently
○ Multiple customer threads accessing a single ATM or counter show real-world
concurrency.
○ Helps students understand thread behavior in a practical scenario.
2. Better Resource Utilization
○ If one customer waits (thread sleeps), another can access the counter/ATM.
○ Mimics real-life queuing and efficient resource usage.
3. Demonstrates Thread Synchronization
○ Can show critical section problems if multiple threads try to access shared
resources.
○ Useful for VTU labs to explain synchronized blocks, race conditions, and
mutual exclusion.
4. Educational and Engaging
○ Using a fun, relatable scenario like “Professor vs Students” or banking makes
threads easier to understand.
○ Students can visualize how threads interact in real-time.
5. Works Across Compilers
○ The code runs on any standard Java online compiler, making it ideal for VTU
lab submissions.
Cons (Disadvantages / Limitations)
1. Simplified Model
○ Real-life banking is much more complex, involving databases, authentication,
and transactions.
○ The code only simulates the concept, not actual banking operations.
2. Thread Overhead
○ Creating too many threads can slow down the system or lead to resource
contention.
○ In large-scale banking systems, this approach is not scalable.
3. No Persistent Storage
○ Money balances, transactions, and state are not stored persistently.
○ Every run of the program starts fresh, unlike a real bank.
4. Race Conditions (if not synchronized)
○ Without proper synchronization, two threads can update the same account
simultaneously, causing incorrect balances.
○ You can fix it using synchronized blocks in Java.
5. Not Fully Realistic
○ No error handling for insufficient funds, invalid accounts, or network delays.
○ Mainly demonstrates thread interaction, not real banking logic.
✅ VTU Tip:
● In exams or labs, you can relate pros/cons to thread concepts like:
○ Safe execution → synchronization
○ Concurrency → multiple threads
○ Resource management → ATMs or counters
