Just worked through the first two parts of the online Java Concurrency Tutorial ('Processes and Threads', 'Thread Objects'). Learnt about the
Thread class versus the
Runnable interface (including the
run()/
start() methods) as well as the
sleep(),
interrupt(),
join() methods and the
InterruptedException class.

This method throws interruption exception only for waiting thread .
If thread is not in waiting status thread's interrupted status will be set to true but it won't stop it's execution there instead thread will continue running normally
Effective java simplified
