10. Common methods of the Thread class

• 
                run() // top entry point into the thread - called by start() - not you!
  
              start() // schedules the thread for execution
  
            getName() // returns thread name
  
      currentThread() // returns the thread object for current thread
  
          setDaemon( boolean ) // daemon thread runs in background, e.g. garbage collection
  
              sleep( long ) // pauses current thread for a given period of milliseconds
  
          interrupt() // wake-up signal to sleeping or waiting thread
  
      isInterrupted() // manual check for a wake-up signal
  
              yield() // similar to sleep( 0 )
