In a simple to understand explanation, what is Runnable in Java?

Question

Can anyone help me understand what is runnable in Java?

Answer 1

Basically, runnable is an interface that is present in the thread and lets the thread what it supposed to do. You can take the below code snippet as a reference:

public class MyRunnableTask implements Runnable {

     public void run() {

         // do stuff here

     }

}

I hope this will help.
