How to prioritize threads in java

In this article we will learn how to work with thread priorities when there are several threads competing for CPU time.

We can use thread priorities in such situation.   The thread class provides three final static variables (constants) namely: MIN_PRIORITY, NORM_PRIORITY, and MAX_PRIORITY whose values are 1, 5 and 10 respectively. Priority values can be in the range 1 to 10. 1 denotes minimum priority
