First, a new class that implements
Runnable
is defined. Its implementa-
tion of the
run
method is the same as
PingPong
's. In
main
, two
RunPingPong
objects with different timings are created; a new
THRead
object is then
created for each object and is started immediately.
Five
Thread
constructors enable you to specify a
Runnable
object:
public
Thread(Runnable target)
Constructs a new
THRead
that uses the
run
method of the spe-
cified
target
.
public
Thread(Runnable target, String name)
