What will be the output of the program?
public class ThreadTest extends Thread
{
public void run()
{
System.out.println("In run");
yield();
System.out.println("Leaving run");

public static void main(String []argv)
{
(new ThreadTest()).start();
}

It works the same whether you call it with an instance or Thread.yield(). The reason is there no code to display in the main method after start() a child thread. write some SOPs in main after start a child thread. CPU gives the chance to the main thread. Since in this program there a 2 threads main, Thread-0.

Yield is a static method. It makes the currently running thread head back to the runnable state to allow other threads of same priority to get their turn, but there is no such guarantee.

yield() is a static method . Thes how we are invoking it for an instance using this.

Leaving run"
or
like
"In run Leaving run"
Like

Is this possible to call super class's static method in sub class's non-static method without specifying classname(ie.yeild()).

yield() allow other Threads to execute by stopping the current Thread. Since there are no such other Threads present, therefore yield() not blocks the current Thread and execution continues after yield().

I think it will give an compile time error, as we yield is static method, hence how can we call a static method in non static method. If we correct this like Thread.yield () ; then it will print in run leaving run, because yield method stop current thread and allow other thread to invoke, hence there is no other thread and this will continue after calling yield.

Output will be :
In run.
Leaving run.
Its fine for compilation, just because calling yield() inside run().
In run.

Yield method causes to pause the current executing thread and give the chance for remaining waiting thread of the same priority. If there are no waiting threads or all waiting threads are having low priority then the same thread will continue it's execution.
Output will be :
In run.
Leaving run.
Output will be :
In run.
Leaving run.

Yes @Srinivas you are correct and also it is depending on "thread scheduler" since there is no other thread so same thread will continue the process. I hope this if I am wrong please tell.
