What is the difference between yielding and sleeping?
What is the difference between yielding and sleeping? When a task invokes its yield() method, it returns to the ready state. When a task invokes its sleep() method, it returns to the waiting state. 2012-06-15, 2626👍, 0💬

What are the high-level thread states?
What are the high-level thread states? The high-level thread states are ready, running, waiting, and dead. 2012-06-15, 2869👍, 0💬

What is the purpose of the wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() methods?
What is the purpose of the wait(), notify(), and notifyAll() methods? The wait(),notify(), and notifyAll() methods are used to provide an efficient way for threads to communicate each other. 2012-06-14, 3004👍, 0💬

What invokes a thread's run() method?
What invokes a thread's run() method? After a thread is started, via its start() method of the Thread class, the JVM invokes the thread's run() method when the thread is initially executed. 2012-06-14, 2655👍, 0💬

What would you use to compare two String variables - the operator == or the method equals()?
What would you use to compare two String variables - the operator == or the method equals()? I'd use the method equals() to compare the values of the Strings and the == to check if two variables point at the same instance of a String object. 2012-06-07, 2650👍, 0💬

What are three ways in which a thread can enter the waiting state?
What are three ways in which a thread can enter the waiting state? A thread can enter the waiting state by invoking its sleep() method, by blocking on IO, by unsuccessfully attempting to acquire an object's lock, or by invoking an object's wait() method. It can also enter the waiting state by invoki... 2012-06-04, 2752👍, 0💬

What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements?
What are synchronized methods and synchronized statements? Synchronized methods are methods that are used to control access to a method or an object.
