I read that throws keyword can’t be used with run method of threads.I wish to know if its a design fault or is there a genuine reason for not allowing this.

The main reason is that there’s no-one to catch the exception, except for any catch-all handlers you might register with your
Threador the containingThreadGroup.Note that you can still throw a
RuntimeException, which will end up at the aforementioned handler.(The same reasoning can be used for
run()s return value ofvoidby the way.)
