What is the Thread.State of a thread after Thread.yield() ? Is it a Thread.State.WAITING? Thanks.
No, the thread will still be in the
RUNNABLEstate. Note thatRUNNABLEsignifies that a thread is available to be run and may be either currently running or waiting its turn.Thread.STATEdoes not distinguish between a thread that is currently executing and a thread that is ready to run, they are bothRUNNABLE.A thread will only enter the
WAITINGstate when eitherwait(),join()orLockSupport.park()has been called.By calling
Thread.yield()method the currently running thread is voluntarily giving up its slice of CPU time. This thread then goes from running back into a ready state.
