Java Coding Problems

The RUNNABLE state

The transition from NEW to RUNNABLE is obtained by calling the start() method. In this state, a thread can be running or ready to run. When it is ready to run, a thread is waiting for the JVM thread-scheduler to allocate the needed resources and time to run to it. As soon as the processor is available, the thread-scheduler will run the thread.

The following snippet of code should print RUNNABLE, since we print the state of the thread after calling start(). But because of thread-scheduler internal mechanisms, this is not guaranteed:

public class RunnableThread {  public void runnableThread() {    Thread t = new Thread(() -> {});    t.start();    // RUNNABLE    System.out.println("RunnableThread : " + t.getState());  }}RunnableThread ...
