multithreading basics

Threads in this program should interfere with each other because of accessing the same array at the time. So output should rather look like "12112" than like "22222", right? The thing is that output IS actually "22222", but I cannot see the reason.

public class Threads {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		PrintTask1 thread1 = new PrintTask1();
		PrintTask2 thread2 = new PrintTask2();
		thread1.run();      //These two threads should interfere
		thread2.run();      //with each other and provide wrong
		Array.show();      //output in this line.
	}
}

class PrintTask1 implements Runnable {      //Nothing complicated, just
	public void run() {                  //modifying the array
		for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
			Array.array[i]=1;
		}
	}
}
class PrintTask2 implements Runnable {      //The same
	public void run() {
		for(int i=0;i<5;i++) {
			Array.array[i]=2;
		}
	}
}
class Array {            //Data array, or in this case, so called "buffer"
	public static int[] array = new int[5];
	public static void show() {
		for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
			System.out.println(array[i]);
	}
}

You aren't actually creating any new Threads. Instances of Runnable are not automatically run on a new Thread.

Oh... yes... Is this code right? Because it doesn't work either...

		Thread thread1 = new Thread(new PrintTask1());
		Thread thread2 = new Thread(new PrintTask2());
		thread1.run();
		thread2.run();
