# Java Examples - Checking a Thread

## Problem Description:

How to check priority level of a thread?

## Solution:

Following example demonstrates how to check priority level of a thread using getPriority() method of a Thread.

    public class Main extends Object {
       private static Runnable makeRunnable() {
          Runnable r = new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                   Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
                   System.out.println("in run() - priority="
                   + t.getPriority()+ ", name=" + t.getName());
                   try {
                      Thread.sleep(2000);
                   }
                   catch (InterruptedException x) {
                   }
                }
             }
          };
          return r;
       }
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("in main() - Thread.currentThread().
          getPriority()=" + Thread.currentThread().getPriority());
          System.out.println("in main() - Thread.currentThread()
          .getName()="+ Thread.currentThread().getName());
          Thread threadA = new Thread(makeRunnable(), "threadA");
          threadA.start();
          try {
             Thread.sleep(3000);
          }
          catch (InterruptedException x) {
          }
          System.out.println("in main() - threadA.getPriority()="
          + threadA.getPriority());
       }
    }

## Result:

The above code sample will produce the following result.

    in main() - Thread.currentThread().getPriority()=5
    in main() - Thread.currentThread().getName()=main
    in run() - priority=5, name=threadA
    in run() - priority=5, name=threadA
    in main() - threadA.getPriority()=5
    in run() - priority=5, name=threadA
    in run() - priority=5, name=threadA
    in run() - priority=5, name=threadA
