sleep() method?

[Asleshkumar Thukaram]

I'm just now learning the concepts of threads.....I tried to execute this pgm :
class td{
public static void main(String args[]){
Thread t=Thread.currentThread();
System.out.println("current thr " +t);
System.out.println("after name change ");
try{
for(int i=5;i>5;i--){
System.out.println(i);
t.sleep(1000);
}
}catch (InterruptedException e){
System.out.println("main thread interrupted");
}
}
}
But as expected, the pgm had to print the numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5, in an interval of 1 sec between each number, but it didn't print. The output just stopped with the print of "after name change ". Why doesn't that print the numbers??

for(int i=5;i>5;i--){
System.out.println(i);
t.sleep(1000);
}

Hi,
loop is not coded as expected. you can code it like "for(int i=5;i<=1;i--)".
hope it helps

<br />

for(int i=5;i>=1;i--)

might work better.

Oh, I am sorry, it is a type error. Thank you for correcting it.
