The Thread class in Java provides the following control methods: 1. start(): starts the thread, putting it into the ready state. 2. run(): defines the execution logic of the thread and needs to be called in the start() method. 3. sleep(long millis): makes the thread sleep for a specified time period, in milliseconds. 4. yield(): yields the execution of the current thread, putting it into the ready state to allow other threads to run. 5. join(): waits for the thread calling this method to finish execution before continuing with the current thread. 6. interrupt(): interrupts the thread by sending an interrupt signal to make it stop running. 7. isAlive(): checks if the thread is alive, meaning it has started but not yet terminated. 8. setPriority(int priority): sets the thread’s priority, ranging from 1 to 10 where 1 is the lowest priority and 10 is the highest priority. 9. getName() and setName(String name): gets and sets the thread’s name. 10. isDaemon() and setDaemon(boolean on): checks if the thread is a daemon thread and sets whether the thread is a daemon thread. Daemon threads are threads that will not prevent the program from terminating, and when all non-daemon threads finish, the program will automatically exit. These control methods can be used to manage the thread’s execution status, order of execution, and priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
