Thread priorities

Point to remember in case of Thread priorities

• Valid range of Java Thread priorities is from 1 to 10
• 1 is the MIN priority (Thread.MIN_PRIORITY)
• 10 is the MAX priority (Thread.MAX_PRIORITY)
• 5 is the NORMAL priority (Thread.NORM_PRIORITY)
• The default priority of main thread is 5 for all other threads the default priority will be inherited from parent thread to the child thread.

public final int getPriority();
public final void setPriority(int p); //allowed values from 1 to 10

public class ThreadNameDemo {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
		Thread t = new Thread(new TempThread());
		t.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
		t.start();
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1,10).forEach(x -> System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" "+x));
	} 
}
class TempThread implements Runnable{
	@Override
	public void run() {
		IntStream.rangeClosed(1,10).forEach(x -> System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" "+x));
	}
}
