Thread problem

[Maki Jav]

Why are these threads not processing?

    
 
public class TestSpeed{
 
public static void main(String [] args){
 

final String word="";
final String line="";
 
new Thread(new Runnable(){
 
  public void run(){
rk(word,line);
  }
 
});
 
new Thread(new Runnable(){
 
  public void run(){
java(word,line);
  }
 
});
try{
Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException ie){}
 
}
 

public static void java(String word,String sentence){
 
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-start);
 
}
 

public static void  rk(String word,String sentence){
 
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-start);
 
}
 

 
}

Because their start method is never called. Constructing a Thread object does not start its execution.

Oh! It should be...

  
 
public class TestSpeed{
 
public static void main(String [] args){
 
 
final String word="";
final String line="";
 
new Thread(new Runnable(){
 
  public void run(){
rk(word,line);
  }
 
}).[B]start[/B]();
 
new Thread(new Runnable(){
 
  public void run(){
java(word,line);
  }
 
}).[B]start[/B]();
try{
Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException ie){}
 
}
 
 
public static void java(String word,String sentence){
 
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-start);
 
}
 
 
public static void  rk(String word,String sentence){
 
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis()-start);
 
}
 
 
 
}

Thanks,
