Hello everyone..

As we know we create an object of interface. Then why the below program is getting executed..?
I need an explanation how it is getting executed.....?


public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Hello!");
}
}).start();
}
}


Thank Q.

It is creating an inner class and executing the run() method. Have a look at Java inner classes.
