Under which conditions will a currently executing thread stop
a.When an interrupted exception occurs
b.When a thread of higher priority is ready (becomes Runnable)
c.When the thread creates a new thread
d.When the stop() method is called.
e.Wait for getID
is a a correct answer? looks like. : )
how about e?
Thanks

well, let's see...
getID is a java.util.TimeZone method so i don't think that would
make a thread stop.
hmm... stop() is deprecated so i don't know much more about it other
than it's supposed to make a thread stop.
exceptions can occur and be handled without a thread stopping.
threads can create and start new threads w/o stopping themselves.
so i'd say b & d (tho i'm not sure about d)

we cannot be sure of the B option because in time slice system higher priority mean's nothing because all the thread's are given equal time.In preemptive scheduler a higher priority can definitely stop a thread of lower priority.
