## Multithreading
Multithreading is a process of executing multiple processes simultaneously. Java starts the program with a main thread and further threads are added upon main thread whenever any user creates it. main thread is the first user thread in any Java program. Also, JVM makes sure that all the user threads are closed before the program ends.

## Thread LifeCycle
A thread at any of point exists in any one of the following states:
1. New - When a new thread is created, it is in the new state. The thread has not started yet.
2. Runnable - A thread that is ready to run is moved to runnable state.
3. Running - The thread scheduler picks up a thread from runnable threads pool and ensures that each thread gets to run.
4. Waiting/Blocked - When a thread is temporarily inactive, then is in blocked/waiting state. Example - a thread waiting for I/O to complete.
5. Terminated - A thread can be terminated due to 2 reasons. Either it has completed the job and terminates normally or due to some unhandled exception or segmentation fault, etc.

You will notice that if this code is ran multiple times, the results may differ. and that is decided by the OS upon which it is run. The OS can pick any thread from a runnable state and can run it. We hsve NO CONTROL over that. If there are multiple threads in runnable state (ready to run), anyone can be picked. It even does not depend upon priority.
