// Using a named inner class:
class InnerThread1 {
  private int countDown = 5;
  private Inner inner;
  private class Inner extends Thread {
    Inner(String name) {
      super(name);

      return getName() + ": " + countDown;
    }
  }
  public InnerThread1(String name) {
    inner = new Inner(name);
  }
}

// Using an anonymous inner class:
class InnerThread2 {
  private int countDown = 5;
  private Thread t;
  public InnerThread2(String name) {
    t = new Thread(name) {
      @Override

// Using a named Runnable implementation:

    @Override

      return t.getName() + ": " + countDown;
    }
  }
  public InnerRunnable1(String name) {
    inner = new Inner(name);
  }
}

// Using an anonymous Runnable implementation:
class InnerRunnable2 {
  private int countDown = 5;

            if(--countDown == 0) return;
            TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(10);
          }
        } catch(InterruptedException e) {
          print("sleep() interrupted");

          ": " + countDown;
      }
    }, name);
    t.start();
  }
}

// A separate method to run some code as a task:
class ThreadMethod {
  private int countDown = 5;
  private Thread t;
  private String name;
  public ThreadMethod(String name) { this.name = name; }
  public void runTask() {
