Question

I need to write a program that uses multiple threads. I need to use the run() method after creating my thread objects. This run method seems to be built in. However, I need to write it and I need it to run a loop every time it is called. Can anyone help me understand how to do this?

You can create a new Thread instance by passing an anonymous implementation of the Runnable interface and then use the start() method to start the thread execution. See below:

Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    while (!stopped) {
      // do something interesting here
    }
  }
});
t.start();
