    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out
        .println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "yielding control...");
    Thread.yield();

    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()
        + " has finished executing.");
  }

}

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new ThreadDemo("Thread 1");
    new ThreadDemo("Thread 2");
    new ThreadDemo("Thread 3");
  }
