• As per Java 8, interface can have method body as well.
  

interface A { 
	void methodA();
} 

class AImpl implements A { 
	void methodA() { //do stuff }
}
 
interface B { 
	void methodB();
} 

class BImpl implements B { 
	void methodB() { //do stuff }
}
 
class Multiple implements A, B { 
	private A a = new A();
	private B b = new B();
	void methodA() { 
		a.methodA(); 
	}
	void methodB() { 
		b.methodB(); 
	}
}

class Multiple implements A, B { 
	private A a = new AImpl();
	private B b = new BImpl();
	void methodA() { 
		a.methodA(); 
	}
	void methodB() { 
		b.methodB(); 
	}
}

class RunnableThread implements Runnable {
	Thread runner;
	
	public RunnableThread() {
	}
	
	public RunnableThread(String threadName) {
		runner = new Thread(this, threadName); // (1) Create a new thread.
		System.out.println(runner.getName());
		runner.start(); // (2) Start the thread.
	}

	public void run() {
		//Display info about this particular thread
		System.out.println(Thread.currentThread());
	}
}

• NEW
  A thread that has not yet started is in this state.
• RUNNABLE
  A thread executing in the Java virtual machine is in this state.
• BLOCKED
  A thread that is blocked waiting for a monitor lock is in this state.
• WAITING
  A thread that is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a particular action is in this state.
• TIMED_WAITING
  A thread that is waiting for another thread to perform an action for up to a specified waiting time is in this state.
• TERMINATED
  A thread that has exited is in this state.

A thread can be in only one state at a given point in time. These states are virtual machine states which do not reflect any operating system thread states.
