tiates an anonymous class that implements
Runnable
. It then creates two
Thread
objects,initializingeachobjecttotherunnable,andcalls
Thread
's
start()
method
to create and start both threads. After completing these tasks, the main thread exits
main()
and dies.
Each of the two started threads executes the runnable's
run()
method. It calls
Thread
's
currentThread()
method to obtain its associated
Thread
instance,
