Java / Java Multithreading

Difference between notify and interrupt in Java.

When a thread calls notify on some monitor, it wakes up a single thread that's waiting on that monitor, but which thread gets woken is decided by the scheduler. Unlike notify, interruption targets a specific thread and interruption does not require that the interrupted thread be waiting on a monitor.

Interruption is used only for cancellation while notify helps the waiting thread to attain it goal it is waiting for and help it continue its execution.
