Question with interrupt ()

[Sagar Shroff]

Consider i have 1 Thread and i started it.In the run method when i call interrupt () on that Thread nothing happens.In java Docs it is simply written that it interrupts the Thread.

Can Someone explain me what does interrupt () do and what is the us of it ??

class Test1 extends Thread 
{
 static Test1 t,t1;
 Test1(String name)
 {
  super(name);
 }
 public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
 {
  t=new Test1("t");
  t1=new Test1("t1");
  
  t1.start(); 
  t.start();

  
 }
 public void run()
 {
  try
  {
  t.interrupt();}catch(Exception e){ System.out.print("Interrupted");}
  System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
 }
 
 
}

This was the code which i tried and the Output was
t1
t

if you call interrupt on a thread, then that thead status set to true. this is one of the technique used to stop a thread. if that Thread sleep or wait then , it throws InterruptedException.
so, just print Thread.currentThread.isInterrupted() return value and check
