public class MyThread extends Thread {
    
    /**
     * This method is executed when the start() method is called on the thread
     * so here you will put the "thread code"
     */
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Thread executed!");
    }
    
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread thread = new MyThread();
        thread.start();
    }
}

Implementing the Runnable interface:  The below example shows how to create a thread in java by implementing the runnable interface

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
    
    /**
     * As in the previous example this method is executed
     * when the start() method is called on the thread
     * so here you will put the "thread code".
     */
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Thread executed!");
    }
    
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

   //create a Thread object and pass it an object of type Runnable
        Thread thread = new Thread(new MyRunnable());
        thread.start();
    }
}
