In this segment of tutorial we will learn how to use the join method in the Thread.Then We will create an example of Thread with the use of join method.

• Java Join method join the next thread at the end of the current thread
• After current thread stops execution then next thread executes.

Java Join Thread Example

public class join implements Runnable {

	@Override
	public void run() {
		for (int x = 1; x <= 3; x++) {
			System.out.println("this is thread "
					+ Thread.currentThread().getName());
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		join j1 = new join();
		Thread t1 = new Thread(j1, "1");
		Thread t2 = new Thread(j1, "2");
		Thread t3 = new Thread(j1, "3");
		t1.start();
		t1.join();
		t2.start();
		t3.start();
	}
}

Output :

this is thread 1 this is thread 1 this is thread 1 this is thread 3 this is thread 2 this is thread 2 this is thread 2 this is thread 3 this is thread 3
