when i invoke t.run() method the corresponding method in mythread class get excuted but the thread is runned by a thread
named main , not by lal which i have given the name to the thread .



The output that i have got is

RUN BY main i 1 id 1
RUN BY main i 2 id 1
RUN BY main i 3 id 1
RUN BY main i 4 id 1
RUN BY lal i 1 id 8
RUN BY lal i 2 id 8
RUN BY lal i 3 id 8
RUN BY lal i 4 id 8


forgive me if the doubt is silly one

This is true when the main thread (or ANY thread) calls ANY method of ANY class -- the called method of the class, gets called by the calling thread.

The trick of the Thread class is the start() method. The start() method will start a new thread -- and this new thread will then call the run() method as it's starting point.
