Runnable Interface

gistfile1.java

class PrimeRun implements Runnable {
   long minPrime;
   PrimeRun(long minPrime) {
       this.minPrime = minPrime;
   }

   public void run() {
       // compute primes larger than minPrime
   }
}



 The following code would then create a thread and start it running:
     PrimeRun p = new PrimeRun(143);
     new Thread(p).start();
