线程流程理解

1.只要线程thread.start（）执行了，程序立刻就多了一个执行的分支。并且这个分支会单独持续的运行下去。

thread.start()后面的代码会继续沿着另一条分支向下执行。

也就是，两条分支，各自持续运行

比如：

public class AppMain {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis() ;
        System.out.println();
        ArrayList<Thread> arrayList = new ArrayList<>();
        for(int i = 0;i<100;i++)
        {
            myThread m1 =  new myThread();
                    m1.start();
                    m1.join();
            myThread2 m2 = new myThread2();
                    m2.start();
                    m2.join();
        }
        long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long endure = end-start;
        System.out.println("耗时："+endure);
    }

}

输出：

Thread-172 :1111 : 111

Thread-198 :1111 : 111
Thread-199 :2222 : 222
耗时：68

如果不采用join()方法的话，会先执行完main线程，子线程继续执行。则不会正确打印出耗时时间

输出如下：

Thread-181 :2222 : 222
Thread-182 :1111 : 111

Thread-190 :1111 : 111

耗时：68----------------------------------会发现主线程先执行完了
