Java Thread Termination Guide

To terminate the current thread, you can use the interrupt() method from the Thread class to request an interruption in the current thread. When the interrupt() method is called, the interrupt status of the current thread is set to true, and the thread’s execution is interrupted at the appropriate time. The thread can check its own interrupt status at the right time to determine if it should exit execution.

Here is an example code demonstrating how to terminate the current thread.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();
        currentThread.interrupt();
    }
}

In the example above, we obtain a reference to the current thread and call the interrupt() method to request the current thread to be interrupted. It is important to note that calling the interrupt() method simply sends a request to the thread to be interrupted, and the thread still needs to check the interrupt status at the appropriate time and decide whether to exit execution.
