Explain Thread Priority.

Every thread has a priority, usually threads with higher priority gets precedence in execution but it depends on Thread scheduler. We can specify the priority of thread but it doesn't guarantee that higher priority thread will get executed before lower priority thread.

Thread priority is an int whose value varies from 1 to 10 where 1 is the lowest priority thread and 10 is the highest priority thread.Thread class also defines 3 constants. Default priority of a thread is 5 (NORM_PRIORITY). The value of MIN_PRIORITY is 1 and the value of MAX_PRIORITY is 10.

 threadObj.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
