Thread类调用run（）方法和调用start（）方法的区别

  Thread类自述

        小C和字符串类String类在java大街上闲逛，迎面遇到了Thread类。String介绍说：“小C，这就是大名鼎鼎的Thread类，线程类，java可以在语言级上支持多线程这位Thread功不可没啊。”小C说：“你好啊，我记得你有一个很让我疑惑的地方，当我自己写一个类继承你的时候，我必须要重写你的run()方法，在run()方法里写上我需要完成的任务，但是要调用的时候去不是调用run()方法，却是调用start()方法，为什么不能调用run()方法呢？”

       Thread类大笑：“哈哈，你有没有试过直接调用我的run()，方法啊？”

        小C：“没有，上课时，老师可是重点强调了，调用的是start()方法而不是run()方法。咦，要是直接调用你的run()方法会怎么样，会出错吗？”

        Thread类：“那就让我们现场试一下吧。”

       public class ThreadTest {
public static void main(String[] args){
Thread thread = new Thread1();  
thread.start();
for(int i=0 ; i<=60 ; i++)
System.out.println("main thread "+i);
}
}


class Thread1 extends Thread {
public void run() {
for(int i=0 ; i<=60 ; i++)
System.out.println("thread1 "+i);
}
}

其运行结果如下：

main thread 0

Thread类：“你可以看到当调用的是start()方法时，主进程和thread1进程是交替进行的，这符合我们的意图，但是当我们把thread.start()改成thread.run()时，程序运行结果如下。

thread1 2

        Thread类：“你看，这样程序是先把thread的run()方法全运行完之后才运行下面的语句，也就是说当写成run()时，就相当于普通的函数调用，并不会产生新的进程，只有调用start()时，才是告诉操作系统产生一个新的进程。”

        小C点点头，若有所悟。
