Question

Which of this method is used to find out that a thread is still running or not?

(a) run()

(b) Alive()

(c) isAlive()

(d) checkRun()

The question was asked in a national level competition.

I'd like to ask this question from isAlive(), Join() & Thread Synchronization topic in chapter Multithreading of Java

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) isAlive()

The best explanation: The isAlive( ) method returns true if the thread upon which it is called is still running. It returns false otherwise.
