    Default adding 2 random numbers using multi threading

    I am attempting to add two numbers together using 3 concurrent thread objects in one class. I have implemented the runnable interface and used the run() method. The error I am receiving states that my "class is not abstract and does not override abstract method run() in runnable.

    very basic when it comes to threads. any help greatly appreciated.

    //import packages
    import java.util.*; 
     
    //random thread class
    public class RandomThread implements Runnable
    {
        //integer and object variables
        Random rNum1 = new Random();
        Random rNum2 = new Random();
        int num1, num2;
     
       RandomThread()
       {
            //chose random first number
            Thread thNum1 = new Thread()
            {
                //run method from runnable interface
                public void run()
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
                    {
                        num1 = rNum1.nextInt(11);
                    }
                }
            };
            thNum1.start();
     
            //chose random second number
            Thread thNum2 = new Thread()
            {
                //run method from runnable interface
                public void run()
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
                    {
                        num2 = rNum2.nextInt(11);
                    }
                }
            };
            thNum2.start();
     
            //chose random second number
            Thread thSum = new Thread()
            {
                //run method from runnable interface
                public void run()
                {
                //sum of 2 random numbers
                int sum = num1 + num2;
                System.out.println("The sum of " + num1 + " +" + num2 + " =" + sum);
                }
            };
            thSum.start();
       }
     
       //main method
       public static void main(String[] arguement)
       {
           //instance of class
           RandomThread rt = new RandomThread();
       }
    }

    Default Re: adding 2 random numbers using multi threading

    First off, why are you using threads? That's not a good way to use them, and it seems like you might be getting into them before you really understand the basics.

    But your error says it all. Your RandomThread class implements Runnable for some reason. Anything that implements Runnable has to have a run() method. You don't have a run() method in your RandomThread class, just the run methods inside your anonymous inner Thread classes.
