Hi,

I am new to java. I would like to know
Whatis the difference between Yield() and wait() method? Both Causes the currently executing thread object to temperorily pause and allow other thread
to execute.

Thanks
Bhanulakshmi

Hey!!Yield() is used to put the currently running thread in runnable state and let and let another thread with the same priority to take its turn. wait() is used to stop a running thread until another thread completes and notify it that "its job is done"
