The thread can be created either by extending the Thread class or implement the Runnable interface.

Two ways-

1. By extending Thread class
2. By implementing Runnable interface

We extend the thread class when we are creating a new thread to assign a specific type of job to that thread. But if we want to create a thread which does not do a specific type of job, instead does the job which is quite similar to already running threads, then we implement runnable interface.
