Deprecated Method

[Praveen Ponna]

I came across this question in one of the mock exams, but I feel the answer must change for the newer version of SCJP (JDK 1.4 and newer).

Which methods may cause a thread to stop executing?
 
   a. sleep();
   b. stop();
   c. yield();
   d. wait();
   e. notify();
   f. notifyAll()
   g. synchronized()
 
Select all correct answers.

and the answer is given as

abcd

But as of JDK 1.4 stop() is deprecated method.
So given the above question should the answer be acd ?



Thanks!

stop is a deprecated method, but notice that the question asks which of these methods may stop a thread from executing instead of asking which of these methods will stop a thread from executing. Even if a method is deprecated, it may still work.
