  public interface Callable<V>

  A task that returns a result and may throw an exception. Implementors define a single method with no arguments called  call .

  The Callable interface is similar to Runnable, in that both are designed for classes whose instances are potentially executed by another thread. A Runnable, however, does not return a result and cannot throw a checked exception.

  The Executors class contains utility methods to convert from other common forms to Callable classes.
