I am doing a past exam paper of Java, I am confused about one question listed below:
What would happen when a thread executes the following statement in its run() method? (Choose all that apply.)
sleep(500);
A. It is going to stop execution, and start executing exactly 500 milliseconds later.
B. It is going to stop execution, and start executing again not earlier than 500 milliseconds later.
C. It is going to result in a compiler error because you cannot call the sleep(…) method inside the run() method.
D. It is going to result in a compiler error because the sleep(…) method does not take any argument.
I select A,B. but the key answer is only B, does there exist any circumstances that A could also happen? Could anyone please clarify that for me? Many thanks.
