Could somebody pl explain me why this code is not throwing runtime exception when i am trying to invoke start() on dead
thread and also when getName() method is called on dead thread it is not responding as we can call methods on the dead thread instance except start().
class NameRunnable implements Runnable{
public void run(){
System.out.println("NameR running");
System.out.println("run by" +
Thread.currentThread().getName());
}
}
public class NameThread{
public static void main(
String args[]){
NameRunnable nr=new NameRunnable();
Thread t=new Thread(nr);
t.setName("Fred");
t.start();
try{
Thread.sleep(1000);}
catch(InterruptedException e){
e.printStackTrace();}
System.out.println("main thread complets");
t.getName();
t.start();
}
}
