Calling interrupt on a thread that it is in TIMED_WAITING or WAITING or BLOCKED state causes an interrupted exception? is that true?


or in simple words which are all the states in which if a thread is, , can cause interrupted exception on calling interrupt?

thanks

I get that a thread that is running does not get a InterruptedException.

However in this question a interrupt is fired 300 mile seconds after T1 is started there must be something really weird going on if T1 is not always in waiting at that time.
Can I just not reason with these time frames.

Not sure I understand your question. Can you please rephrase?

[raphaelzintec]

very good explanation but you dont explain why T1 RUNNABLE can be printed only 1 time, you explain 3 options with T1 RUNNABLE printed two times

[admin]

Not sure what I understand your doubt. If you are clear that T1 RUNNABLE can be printed two times, doesn't that mean T1 RUNNABLE cannot be printed only 1 time?
