Thread Priority In Java | Advantage Of Thread Priority In Java | Thread Priority In Hindi

Thread Priority

Priorities are represented by a number between 1 and 10. In most

cases, thread schedular schedules the threads according to their priority

 (known as preemptive scheduling). But it is not guaranteed because it

 depends on JVM specification that which scheduling it chooses.

Fig: Thread priority 

3 constants defined in Thread class:

1.    public static int MIN_PRIORITY 2.    public static int NORM_PRIORITY 3.    public static int MAX_PRIORITY

Default priority of a thread is 5 (NORM_PRIORITY). The value of  MIN_PRIORITY is 1 and the value of MAX_PRIORITY is 10.

Example of priority of a Thread:

      class TestMultiPriority1 extends Thread{  

       public void run(){  

           System.out.println("running thread name is:"+Thread.currentThread().g            etName());  

                 System.out.println("running thread priority is:"+Thread.currentThread().getPri    ority());  

  

    }  

     public static void main(String args[]){  

    TestMultiPriority1 m1=new TestMultiPriority1();  

    TestMultiPriority1 m2=new TestMultiPriority1();  

    m1.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);  

    m2.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);  

    m1.start();  

    m2.start();  

        

   }   

      }     

Output: 

       running thread name is:Thread-0

       running thread priority is:10

       running thread name is:Thread-1

       running thread priority is:1
