Hi vijayaBabu


A process can contain multiple threads. In most multithreading operating systems, a process gets its own memory address space; a thread doesn't. Threads typically share the heap belonging to their parent process. For instance, a JVM runs in a single process in the host O/S. Threads in the JVM share the heap belonging to that process; that's why several threads may access the same object. Typically, even though they share a common heap, threads have their own stack space.


This is thread code,

public class ThreadExample extends Thread {
public ThreadExample(String str) {
super(str);
}
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.println(i + " " + getName());
try {
sleep((int)(Math.random() * 1000));
} catch(InterruptedException e){
System.out.println(e);
}
}
System.out.println("Complete! " + getName());
}
public static void main (String[] args) {
new ThreadExample("Roseindia").start();

}
}

---------------------------------------

Use of process, you will see in this example.

import java.io.*;

public class ProcessExample {

public static void main(String args[]) {
String s = null;
try {
// run the Unix "ps -ef" command
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps -ef");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
// read the output from the command
System.out.println("Here is the standard output of the command:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
}
System.out.println("Here is the standard error of the command (if any):\n");
while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
}
System.exit(0);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("exception error: ");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}
}
}
