说说Runnable与Callable

Callable接口：

public interface Callable<V> {
    V call() throws Exception;
}

 

Runnable接口：

public interface Runnable {
    public abstract void run();
}

 

相同点：

1. 两者都是接口；（废话）
2. 两者都可用来编写多线程程序；
3. 两者都需要调用Thread.start()启动线程；

 

不同点：

1. 两者最大的不同点是：实现Callable接口的任务线程能返回执行结果；而实现Runnable接口的任务线程不能返回结果；
2. Callable接口的call()方法允许抛出异常；而Runnable接口的run()方法的异常只能在内部消化，不能继续上抛；

 

注意点：

• Callable接口支持返回执行结果，此时需要调用FutureTask.get()方法实现，此方法会阻塞主线程直到获取‘将来’结果；当不调用此方法时，主线程不会阻塞！

 

Callable工作的Demo：

package com.callable.runnable;

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask;

/**
 * Created on 2016/5/18.
 */
public class CallableImpl implements Callable<String> {

    public CallableImpl(String acceptStr) {
        this.acceptStr = acceptStr;
    }

    private String acceptStr;

    @Override
    public String call() throws Exception {
        // 任务阻塞 1 秒
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        return this.acceptStr + " append some chars and return it!";
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
        Callable<String> callable = new CallableImpl("my callable test!");
        FutureTask<String> task = new FutureTask<>(callable);
        long beginTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // 创建线程
        new Thread(task).start();
        // 调用get()阻塞主线程，反之，线程不会阻塞
        String result = task.get();
        long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("hello : " + result);
        System.out.println("cast : " + (endTime - beginTime) / 1000 + " second!");
    }
}

 

 

 

 

测试结果：

hello : my callable test! append some chars and return it!
cast : 1 second!

Process finished with exit code 0

 

 

 

 

Runnable工作的Demo：

package com.callable.runnable;

/**
 * Created on 2016/5/18.
 */
public class RunnableImpl implements Runnable {

    public RunnableImpl(String acceptStr) {
        this.acceptStr = acceptStr;
    }

    private String acceptStr;

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            // 线程阻塞 1 秒，此时有异常产生，只能在方法内部消化，无法上抛
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        // 最终处理结果无法返回
        System.out.println("hello : " + this.acceptStr);
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable runnable = new RunnableImpl("my runable test!");
        long beginTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        new Thread(runnable).start();
        long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("cast : " + (endTime - beginTime) / 1000 + " second!");
    }
}

 

 

测试结果：

cast : 0 second!
hello : my runable test!

Process finished with exit code 0

 

 

写此篇的原因是一次面试中问到Callable与Runnable的区别，当时用的多的是Runnable，而Callable使用很少！

比较了两者后（网上查了不少），发现Callable在很多特殊的场景下还是很有用的！最后留点抄的代码，加深对Callable的认识！

package com.inte.fork;

/**

import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;

import static java.util.Arrays.asList;

public class Sums {

    static class Sum implements Callable<Long> {
        private final long from;
        private final long to;

        Sum(long from, long to) {
            this.from = from;
            this.to = to;
        }

        @Override
        public Long call() {
            long acc = 0;
            for (long i = from; i <= to; i++) {
                acc = acc + i;
            }
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " : " + acc);
            return acc;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3);
        List<Future<Long>> results = executor.invokeAll(asList(
                new Sum(0, 10), new Sum(0, 1_000), new Sum(0, 1_000_000)
        ));
        executor.shutdown();

        for (Future<Long> result : results) {
            System.out.println(result.get());
        }
    }
}
