3. Sleep and Yield.. Am i correct??    coderanch.com

I wanna treat this topic deeper because I think I will be considered harder in the new exam. 1 - Its important to see which are static and which are instance methods of the Thread class.

5. Thread.sleep vs yield (again)    coderanch.com

I've searched a bit (here, JGuru, elsewhere) but have not found a clear answer on this. Running a tight loop under Windows, Thread.yield() appears to be a no-op--I can observe in the task manager that java is pegging the CPU at close to 100%.

Hi All, I saw in many explanations that some people say that in sleep() or yield(),don't know which one, but in one of them the thread doesn't relinquish monitor lock.

Sleep is used to delay the execution for a period of time, and sleeping thread is guaranteed for sleep at least the specified time.
