related to threads

[Jiji Cherian]

Pls look at the following question..

What can cause a thread to stop executing?
1) The program exits via a call to System.exit(0);
2) Another thread is given a higher priority
3) A call to the halt method of the Thread class?

Can anyone tell me which are the correct answers??
If another thread is given higher priority at runtime will stop the current thread from running? I s it a guaranteed behaviour?? Pls respond asap...

A call to the halt method of the Thread class

I Don't think that there is a method called halt() in threads.

2) Another thread is given a higher priority

It is not true always.

The first option is the correct answer.
