Hi Manish Java provides built-in support for multithreaded programming . A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently. Each part of such a program is called a thread and each thread defines a separate path of execution. A multithreading is a specialized form of multitasking. Multitasking threads require less overhead than multitasking processes. wait () notify () and notifyAll() methods can be used for inter-thread communication and these methods are in Object class. wait() : When a thread executes a call to wait() method it surrenders the object lock and enters into a waiting state. notify() or notifyAll() : To remove a thread from the waiting state some other thread must make a call to notify() or notifyAll() method on the same object.
