tell me

What is displayed when the following piece of code is executed:

class Test extends Thread{
public void run(){
System.out.println("1");
yield();
System.out.println(2");
suspend();
System.out.println("3");
resume();
System.out.println("4");
}

public static void main(String []args){
Test t = new Test();
t.start();
}
what do you think the output should be ?

well, the methods resume() and suspend() have been deprecated as in java 2. (i can confirm for jdk 1.2.2)
so there is no point in using these methods as you will not be tested on these methods.

It looks like 1 2 to me. Calling yield will allow any other threads that are ready to run to execute, but this thread will eventually get the processor. When you call suspend, however (which is deprecated), the thread will leave the running state. As no other object makes a call to resume on that thread, it will never make its way back to the running state. Of course, it will never terminate, either. It will simply hang in a suspended state indefinitely. Therefore, this application will never terminate.
Hope that helps,
Corey

Two things...
1. Did you run the code and find out what it prints? Or if it will even compile?
2. When you post a topic it helps the readers of the forum to put some sort of meanngful title on the topic. 'Tell Me' doen't give anyone a clue as to what the topic is!!

just pet peeve of mine.
