Importance of join() method in Java?
A join() is a final method of Thread class and it can be used to join the start of a thread's execution to the end of another thread's execution so that a thread will not start running until another thread has ended. If the join() method is called on a thread instance, the currently running thread will block until the thread instance has finished executing.
Syntax
public final void join() throws InterruptedException
Example
public class JoinTest extends Thread {
public void run() {
for(int i=1; i <= 3; i++) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
System.out.println("TutorialsPoint "+ i);
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
JoinTest t1 = new JoinTest();
JoinTest t2 = new JoinTest();
JoinTest t3 = new JoinTest();
t1.start();
try {
t1.join(); // calling join() method
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
t2.start();
t3.start();
}
}
Output
TutorialsPoint 1 TutorialsPoint 2 TutorialsPoint 3 TutorialsPoint 1 TutorialsPoint 1 TutorialsPoint 2 TutorialsPoint 2 TutorialsPoint 3 TutorialsPoint 3
