On line 24, what object are you calling run(String) on?
And which class is it actually defined in?

at line 24
new Thread(a).run("arjun");

where a is a reference of class A and thread class object has been created .
this line gives compiler error, please tell me how to correct and call overloaded run() method?

Thread class doesn't know the existence of an overloaded run method.

but look that you are not creating a new thread that way, neither with the line



you are simply invoking the instance method run of class Thread.

1. add a constructor to your A class that takes a String as a parameter. Store the string in an instance variable.
2. Modify your A.run method to call your A.run(String) method passing the instance variable to it.
3. Change the first line of the main method to create an A object using the constructor that takes a String.

Which will actually call the run method of the A instance that was passed to the Thread constructor, but it will do it in the current thread, rather than the new thread.
