I'd say Runnable, bc you can inherite from only one class but you can implement a lot of interfaces But in general there is no better or worse option as far as i know

How come when you implement runnable you don't have to extend Thread

bassus•5d ago

Yeah, that is the point^^ Or was that a question?:Huh:

valerOP•5d ago

It is a question hahaha

Okay 😂 Consider this to be your class implementing Runnable:

public class TheRizzler implements Runnable {
    //Write fields, constructors, methods, whatever
    public void run() {
        //Write what your Thread should run, for example:
        System.out.println("Hawk Tuah Skibidi");
    }
}

public class TheRizzler implements Runnable {
    //Write fields, constructors, methods, whatever
    public void run() {
        //Write what your Thread should run, for example:
        System.out.println("Hawk Tuah Skibidi");
    }
}

Now later in your code you can execute your Thread, that is the run method you defined in your Runnable implementation, like this:

TheRizzler sigma = new TheRizzler();
Thread ohio = new Thread(sigma);
ohio.start();

TheRizzler sigma = new TheRizzler();
Thread ohio = new Thread(sigma);
ohio.start();

Brainrot-infused coding tips 😅 Also please note Java naming conventions: It should be class TheRizzler.

Fair I'm so sad Java has no #define, there would be marvellous brainrot. I would mogg you all to Ohio.
