[Neelima Paramsetty]

Anybody help me?

{
Thread t;
String name;
Thread1(String tname)
{
name=tname;
t=new Thread(this,name);
t.run();
}
public void run()
{
for(int i=0;i<8;i++)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
class DemoJoin
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
new Thread1("one");
}

}

Calling the run method does not start a new thread. When you call start on a Thread object, the JVM starts a physical thread on the OS and then calls run. So if you call run directly, you are just using the calling thread, not creating a new thread.
