Statements regarding to the Thread

[Jo Liang]

What CAN directly cause a thread to stop executing?
A. Existing from a synchronized block
B. Calling the wait method on an object
C. Calling notify method on an object
D. Calling read method on an InputStream object
E. Calling the SetPriority method on a Thread object
Can somebody help me with this one? Thank you.
An other question, while a thread is running (already got the CUP), it that possible that other tread with higher priority (in Ready-to-Run state) takes over?

[R K Singh]

A. Existing from a synchronized block:
No it does not gaurantee that thread will stop executing.
B. Calling the wait method on an object
Yes thread will stop executing, leave the monitor
C. Calling notify method on an object
No it does not gaurantee that thread will stop executing.
D. Calling read method on an InputStream object
Thread will not stop executing but will be in blocked state(I do not know whether it will come under not executing state.)
E. Calling the SetPriority method on a Thread object
will depend on OS.
