The correct answer to the following Q is d). Should it not be e)?
What is the result of compiling and executing the following Java class:
public class ThreadTest extends Thread {
public void run() {
System.out.println("In run");
suspend();
resume();
System.out.println("Leaving run");
}

public static void main(String args []) {
(new ThreadTest()).start();
}
}

a) Compilation will fail in the method main.
b) Compilation will fail in the method run.
c) A warning will be generated for method run.
d) The string "In run" will be printed to standard out.
e) Both strings will be printed to standard out.
f) Nothing will happen.
Select the most appropriate answer.

Hi Parimala,
Only the first print will happen because the thread is then suspending itself. It can only be resumed by calling the resume method. Since it is suspended that is impossible!
Regards,
Manfred.

Exactly, only if another thread calls resume() on this thread can it resume again and print the second line to std output.

Quote from the book Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide:
The suspend() and resume() methods are deprecated as of the Java 2 release and have no place in the Java 2 version of the Certification Exam...
