Submitted by Nidhi, on April 06, 2022

Problem statement

In this program, we will create objects of thread class and initialize them with thread name. Then we will get thread names using the getName() method and print the result.

Source Code

The source code to set and print the thread name is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to set and print thread name

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String threadName;
    Thread thrd1 = new Thread("Thread1");
    Thread thrd2 = new Thread("Thread2");

    thrd1.start();
    thrd2.start();

    threadName = thrd1.getName();
    System.out.println("Thread Name: " + threadName);

    threadName = thrd2.getName();
    System.out.println("Thread Name: " + threadName);
  }
}

Output

Thread Name: Thread1
Thread Name: Thread2

Explanation

In the above program, we created a public class Main. The Main class contains a main() method. The main() method is the entry point for the program. Here, we created two objects initialized with thread names. Then we get the thread name using the getName() method and printed the result.
