Answer / Ujjwal Kumar
Both extending the Thread class and implementing the Runnable interface are ways to create a new thread in Java, but they have some differences. Extending the Thread class makes your class a subclass of the Thread class automatically with access to its instance methods like start(), run(), sleep() etc. However, it can lead to code duplication if you want to create multiple threads having common functionality. On the other hand, implementing the Runnable interface allows for better reusability and encapsulation as you define your thread's behavior in the run() method and then pass that Runnable object to a new Thread instance. So, it is generally considered better to implement the Runnable interface when creating threads.
