class ThreadSetPriority implements Runnable {
Thread thread = new Thread();
public ThreadSetPriority() {
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread Priority : " + thread.getPriority());
/* Setting thread priority */
thread.setPriority(10);
System.out.println("After setting priority, Thread Priority : "
+ thread.getPriority());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new ThreadSetPriority();
}
}
Output :
Thread Priority : 5 After setting priority, Thread Priority : 10
