## Q1
```java
public class StartVsRun {
static class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Running in: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
Thread t1 = new Thread(new MyRunnable(), "Thread-1");
System.out.println("Calling run()");
t1.run();
Thread.sleep(100);
Thread t2 = new Thread(new MyRunnable(), "Thread-2");
System.out.println("Calling start()");
t2.start();
}
}
```
### Answer
#### Output
the program first outputs `Calling run()`
then it runs the `t1` by calling the `run` method in the `t1` thread
t1's run method outputs `Running in: Thread-1`
the program waits 100ms (`Thread.sleep(100)`) after that a new thread is created called `t2`
the program outputs `Calling start()` and then `Running in: Thread-2`
#### Difference between `run()` and `start()`
when we call `t1.run()` the program stops at this line, no new thread would be created and run method runs on the main thread
but when we call `t2.start()` a new thread would get created and main thread runs alongside the new thread.
## Q2
```java
public class DaemonExample {
static class DaemonRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
System.out.println("Daemon thread running...");
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
//[Handling Exception...]
}
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread thread = new Thread(new DaemonRunnable());
thread.setDaemon(true);
thread.start();
System.out.println("Main thread ends.");
}
}
```
### Answer
#### Output
The program creates a thread from DaemonRunnable class, after that it sets to a be a daemon output first message: `Daemon thread running...` and just as it's in sleep (`Thread.sleep(500)`) the main thread finishes its job
and outputs: `Main thread ends.`. this would end the daemon thread we started.
#### What if we removed `thread.setDaemon(true)`
if we removed this line `thread` would've been a normal thread, meaning when we reach the end of the main thread `thread` would still continue doing its work (which is printing `Daemon thread running...`)
The Main thread would've waited for `thread` to finish its job before ending the program.
#### Real life use cases
`sshd` is a daemon that listens for any SSH connections to the computer
another example would be `systemd` which is a daemon on most of the linux distros that manages services
## Q3
```java
public class ThreadDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread thread = new Thread(() -> {
System.out.println("Thread is running using a ...!");
});
thread.start();
}
}
```
### Answer
#### Output
the program simply just outputs `Thread is running using a ...!`
#### What is the `() -> {...}` syntax called
`() -> {...}` is a lambda expression with no parameters: `()`
#### Difference between this and a normal class
using this lambda expression we don't need to create another class
