When dealing with multiple threads, is it better to extend the Thread class or implement Runnable?

I'd say Runnable, bc you can inherite from only one class but you can implement a lot of interfaces

But in general there is no better or worse option as far as i know

[livid prairie]

How come when you implement runnable you don't have to extend Thread

[torn night]

Yeah, that is the point^^

Or was that a question?

[livid prairie]

It is a question hahaha

Okay 😂

Consider this to be your class implementing Runnable:

public class TheRizzler implements Runnable {
    //Write fields, constructors, methods, whatever
    public void run() {
        //Write what your Thread should run, for example:
        System.out.println("Hawk Tuah Skibidi");
    }
}

Now later in your code you can execute your Thread, that is the run method you defined in your Runnable implementation, like this:

TheRizzler sigma = new TheRizzler();
Thread ohio = new Thread(sigma);
ohio.start();

Brainrot-infused coding tips 😅

Also please note Java naming conventions: It should be class TheRizzler.

Fair

I'm so sad Java has no #define, there would be marvellous brainrot. I would mogg you all to Ohio.
