Write a Java program to set and print thread name

The Java code demonstrates how to create a thread and retrieve its name using the Thread.getName() method. The code is straightforward and prints the name of the thread after starting it. Here's what happens when you run this code:

A new Thread object named thrd is created with the name "Thread" passed to its constructor. This associates the name "Thread" with the thread.
The start() method is called on the thrd object, which starts the execution of the thread.
Immediately after starting the thread, the code retrieves the name of the thread using the getName() method and assigns it to the variable threadName.
The name of the thread is then printed to the console using System.out.println().

Since the thread runs concurrently with the main thread, the order of the output is not guaranteed. It may vary based on the thread scheduler and system behavior. However, you will always see the thread name being printed to the console.

Source Code

public class ThreadName
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		String threadName;
		Thread thrd = new Thread("Thread");
 
		thrd.start();
 
		threadName = thrd.getName();
		System.out.println("Thread Name : " + threadName);
	}
}

Output

Thread Name : Thread
