I was reading an article https://technology.amis.nl/2009/02/19/asynchronous-processing-in-java-applications-leveraging-those-multi-cores/?subscribe=success#blog_subscription-2
on Future object. When i am trying to execute the programme as mentioned in the article, programme is not terminating as it own. Article author also used
System.exit(0) in the end to terminate it. I am unable to understand this. any idea?

Too difficult a question for “beginning”. Moving discussion.

Your thread pool has three user threads. These threads need to terminate before the JVM can exit on its own. You need to shutdown the executor.
