Naming Thread And Current Thread In Java | Java Thread Naming Convention

   Naming Thread and Current Thread

The Thread class provides methods to change and get the name of a thread. By default, each thread has a name i.e. thread-0, thread-1 and so on. By we can change the name of the thread by using setName() method. The syntax of setName() and getName() methods are given below:

1.    public String getName(): is used to return the name of a thread.

2.    public void setName(String name): is used to change the name of a thread.

Example of naming a thread

  class TestMultiNaming1 extends Thread{  

  public void run(){  

   System.out.println("running...");  

  }  

  public static void main(String args[]){  

  TestMultiNaming1 t1=new TestMultiNaming1();  

  TestMultiNaming1 t2=new TestMultiNaming1();  

  System.out.println("Name of t1:"+t1.getName());  

  System.out.println("Name of t2:"+t2.getName());  

   

  t1.start();  

  t2.start();  

  

  t1.setName("Sonoo Jaiswal");  

  System.out.println("After changing name of t1:"+t1.getName());  

   }
