Thread

- A thread is a single execution path within a program.
- A Java program may have multiple threads running simultaneously.
- Every thread has a priority.  Threads with a higher priority are executed before threads with a lower priority.
- When a Java program begins execution, there is usually a single thread that calls the main method named of a class.
