I would prefer to point you to some previous discussions
(very very good, maybe lengthy but very very good). I am not
explaining anything just so I don't confuse you....read these
and it will help you if you run the code
1. Deamon threads....
2. Difference bet'n main, user and deaon thread with code.
Again very useful discussions on the subject matter.
Regds.

Deamons threads are system level threads which will serve other threads and these can exists even after the termination of program.
Good example is garbage collector which will exists after exit of program to clean the memory used area.
