start() method, revisited after thread stops ?

[sarim raza]

I have a start method
start()
{
// threads initialized here
}
run()
{
// threads execute here, and run in some loop
}
otherMethod()
{
// this sets the condition for threads to run false, so all threads will stop
}

Question: will execution of program go back to the
end of start() method ?
thanks

A thread dies at the natural termination of run method. Consider the following code:

 
public void run() {
    int i = 0;
    while (i < 100) {
        i++;
        System.out.println("i = " + i);
    }
}
 

Thread having the above run method will print value of i 100 times and exit. It will not go back to the method which started the thread.
