Can you please explain me why doesn't the run() method be executed after 't.start()'

class Order implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try { Thread.sleep(2000); } catch (Exception e) { }
System.out.print("in ");
}
public static void main(String [] args) {
Thread t = new Thread(new Order());
t.start();
System.out.print("pre ");
try { t.join(); } catch (Exception e) { }
System.out.print("post ");
} }

Which two can result? (Choose two.)

in pre
pre in
in post pre
in pre post
pre in post --- ans when i run the above
pre post in

"post" is guaranteed to be printd last, because of the call to t.join().

"pre" and "in" can be printed in any order.

The run method is executed once you called t.start() but has to temporarily suspend for at least 2 seconds before proceeding, because of the call to Thread.sleep(2000)
