Abt Threads

[Gowher Naik]

Which methods may cause a thread to stop executing?
1. sleep();
2. yield();
3. wait();
Ans is 1,2

why not 3.

yeild() is just REQUEST to JVM . It is upto JVM to execute the request or not.
So in the end behaviour is not determined . so we cannot exactly say that when yeild() is given thread stops from executing.

Tell us where the question comes from. What mock exam?

Could it be that the author of the question thinks the reason is some bizzare one "like wait() is not a member of the Thread class?"

Well the question does say "may", not "will".
