Discussion Board
Thread state

Thread has a life cycle that it goes through everytime a method runs. The life cycle of thread is as follows:

1. New Thread
2. Runnable
3. Not Runnable
4. Dead State

The thread when in dead state the reason can only be two:
1. It is dying from natural cause
2. It has been killed or stopped by another method in the process.

A thread enters in this state when its run method exits normally. So, during the termination stage the thread becomes a part of dead state. This happens mostly in loop cases where the infinite loop runs and when the resource is full the method exits. Stop method is used to stop a thread or terminate it prematurely.
