# java Future interface
- [`java.util.concurrent.Future<V>`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Future.html)
- `V` - The result type returned by this Future's `get` method
- `Future` 비동기 연산의 결과를 나타냄

## Example

```java
import java.util.concurrent.*;

public class FutureIsDoneExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
    ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

    Future<String> future = executorService.submit(() -> {
      Thread.sleep(2000);
      return "Hello from Callable";
    });

    while(!future.isDone()) {
      System.out.println("Task is still not done...");
      Thread.sleep(200);
    }

    System.out.println("Task completed! Retrieving the result");
    String result = future.get();
    System.out.println(result);

    executorService.shutdown();
  }
}
```
