Threads doubt

[Venkat Ramsimha]

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
 
public class Reminder 
{
    Timer timer;
 
    public Reminder(int seconds) 
{
        timer = new Timer();
        timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), seconds*1000);
}
 
    class RemindTask extends TimerTask 
{
        public void run() 
{
            System.out.println("Time's up!");
            timer.cancel(); //Terminate the timer thread
        }
    }
 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
{
        new Reminder(5);
        System.out.println("Task scheduled.");
    }
}

Can anybody explain how the output is generated for the above program

"carl hooper" you have been asked before to change your displayed name to confirm to our JavaRanch Naming Policy. You can change it through the "My Profile" link.
Please do it.
-Thanks

Can I suggest that you take a look at class Timer's API documentation? If, after reading that, you have a specific question then please post again.
