Congratulations on completing this lesson on threading! So far, you have:

• created threads in three different ways:
  • extending the Thread class
  • implementing the Runnable class
  • using the in-line, lambda expression syntax
• started threads with .start()
• paused the execution of threads using Thread.sleep(long millis)
• observed thread execution using the supervisor pattern
• blocked on thread completion with .join()
• synchronized access to shared resources from threads with the synchronized keyword
• communicated between threads with .wait() and .notify()

That’s a lot to have covered!

You can now use threading to solve many intermediate and advanced problems when programming with Java. Try to think of more examples like the FortuneTeller or CakeMaker classes, that help to perform multiple tasks at the same time.
