What is the difference between sleep method and multithreading exit method?

How the thread is currently executing when it encounters the call [sleep][1](); , then the stream immediately moves to sleep mode where for [yield][2](); the thread goes into start / ready state

sleep() causes the thread to definitely stop executing for a given amount of time; if no other thread or process needs to be started, the CPU will be idle (and probably go into power saving mode).

yield() basically means that the thread does not do anything particularly important, and if any other threads or processes need to be started, they should. Otherwise, the current thread will continue to work.

We can prevent a thread from executing using any of the three methods of the Thread class:

  • yield()
  • join()
  • sleep()
  • yield() temporarily suspends the current executable thread to allow the remaining pending threads of the same priority to execute. If there are no pending threads, or all pending threads have lower priority, then the same thread will continue execution. The received thread, when it gets a chance to execute, is determined by the thread scheduler, the behavior of which depends on the provider.

  • join() If any executable thread t1 calls join() on t2 ie; t2.join() immediately t1 enters the standby state until t2 completes execution.

  • sleep() According to our requirement, we can make the thread sleep in a certain period of time (I hope that we don’t need a lot of explanation for our favorite method).

Sleep () causes the current thread to sleep (temporarily stop execution).

Exit () causes the temporarily executed thread object to temporarily pause and allow other threads to execute.

Output: make the thread wait for the current executable thread, and the thread that called yield () will be attached to the end of the thread's execution. The thread that calls yield () will be in a locked state until it turns.

Sleep: will cause the thread to sleep in sleep mode for the amount of time specified in the arguments.

Join: t1 and t2 are two threads, t2.join () is called, then t1 enters the wait state until t2 completes execution. Then t1 will enter the runnable state, then our specialized JVM thread scheduler will select t1 based on the criteria.

A sleep causes the thread to pause itself in milliseconds, and the output pauses the thread and immediately moves it to the finished queue (the queue that the processor uses to start the threads).

Exit : this is a hint (not guaranteed) for the scheduler that you have done enough and that some other thread with the same priority can work and use the CPU.

 Thread.sleep(); 

Sleep : blocks the execution of a specific thread for a given time.

 TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(1000);

One way to request the current thread to free the CPU so that other threads can run is to use yield in Java.

yield is a static method. It does not say which other thread the processor will receive. The same thread can return the CPU and start again.

 public class Solution9 { public static void main(String[] args) { yclass yy = new yclass (); Thread t1= new Thread(yy); t1.start(); for (int i = 0; i <3; i++) { Thread.yield(); System.out.println("during yield control => " + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } } } class yclass implements Runnable{ @Override public void run() { for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { System.out.println("control => " + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } } }

yield (): The yield method is used to pause execution of the currently running process, so that another waiting thread with the same priority will receive the CPU to execute. At a lower priority, threads will not execute. if there is no pending thread, then this thread will begin to execute.

join (): the join method stops the current execution of the thread and waits for the other to complete, as a result of which, when the join method is called, it resumes its own execution.

See this link for a detailed explanation.

yield (): suppose there are three threads t1, t2 and t3. Thread t1 receives the processor and starts its execution, and threads t2 and t3 are in Ready / Runnable state. The completion time for stream t1 is 5 hours, and the completion time for t2 is 5 minutes. Since t1 will complete its execution after 5 hours, t2 must wait 5 hours to simply complete the 5 minute operation. In such scenarios, when one thread takes too much time to complete its execution, we need a way to prevent the intermediate thread from executing if something important is expected. Yeild () helps us with this. yield () basically means that the thread is not doing anything particularly important, and if you need to start any other threads or processes, they should be executed. Otherwise, the current thread will continue to work.

You can use the Thread.sleep () method to pause the execution of the current thread for a specified time in milliseconds. No other will be executed at this time.

Yield (): the method will stop the currently executing thread and give a chance to another thread with the same priority that is waiting in the queue. If thier is not a thread, the current thread will continue execution. The processor will never be in perfect condition .

Sleep (): the method will stop the thread for a certain time (the time will be indicated in milliseconds). If this is the only thread that works, then the processor will be in perfect condition during this period of time.

Both are a static approach.
