Thread quest....

[Prashant Neginahal]

Hi All,
class MyThread extends Thread{
public void run(){
System.out.println("Done");
}
public void demo(){
System.out.println("Demo");
}
public static void main(String args[]){
MyThread th=new MyThread();
th.run();
th.stop();
th.demo();
}
}

Here , if we try to stop a thread which is not started , should it not give error? Now it compiles and executes.

Prashant,
I am not sure whether you want to know the workings of a stop method.
It is deprecated because it does not offer a clean functionality and also it is not on the exam.
Hope this helps
