Dear All,

what is the difference between stop() and yield()?

As far as I know yield method keeps the currently running thread in ready-to-run state.What happens when the stop() method is called on the currently running thread?What is the state of the thread?

Thanks.

Did you give it a try. Take a look at the documentation for the stop method in the -> java.lang.Thread class

The stop method is deprecated so you don't have to worry about it for SCJP...
