java方法中 thread_java Thread方法中join()的用法

Java Thread中， join() 方法主要是让调用改方法的thread完成run方法里面的东西后， 在执行join()方法后面的代码。示例：

public class ThreadTester {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

Thread t1 = new Thread(new ThreadTesterA());

Thread t2 = new Thread(new ThreadTesterB());

t1.start();

t1.join(); // wait t1 to be finished

t2.start();

t2.join(); // in this program, this may be removed

}

}

class ThreadTesterA  implements Runnable {

private int counter;

@Override

public void run() {

while (counter <= 10) {

System.out.print("Counter = " + counter + " ");

try {

Thread.sleep(10);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

counter++;

}

System.out.println();

}

}

class ThreadTesterB implements Runnable {

private int i;

@Override

public void run() {

while (i <= 10) {

System.out.print("i = " + i + " ");

try {

Thread.sleep(10);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

i++;

}

System.out.println();

}

}

输出结果：

Counter = 0 Counter = 1 Counter = 2 Counter = 3 Counter = 4 Counter = 5 Counter = 6 Counter = 7 Counter = 8 Counter = 9 Counter = 10

i = 0 i = 1 i = 2 i = 3 i = 4 i = 5 i = 6 i = 7 i = 8 i = 9 i = 10

如果将两句join()方法注释掉，输出结果为如下

Counter = 0 i = 0 Counter = 1 i = 1 Counter = 2 i = 2 Counter = 3 i = 3 Counter = 4 i = 4 Counter = 5 i = 5 i = 6 Counter = 6 Counter = 7 i = 7 Counter = 8 i = 8 i = 9 Counter = 9 Counter = 10 i = 10

如果去掉t1.join()这个语句过后， 输出的书序是乱的， 加上这个语句过后， 就会按照顺序输出，  从某种意义上说实现了同步。

二、为什么要用join()方法

主线程生成并起动了子线程，而子线程里要进行大量的耗时的运算(这里可以借鉴下线程的作用)，当主线程处理完其他的事务后，需要用到子线程的处理结果，这个时候就要用到join();方法了。

三、join方法的作用

在网上看到有人说“将两个线程合并”。这样解释我觉得理解起来还更麻烦。不如就借鉴下API里的说法：

“等待该线程终止。”

解释一下，是主线程(我在“一”里已经命名过了)等待子线程的终止。也就是在子线程调用了join()方法后面的代码，只有等到子线程结束了才能执行。(Waits for this thread to die.)
