Java program to get thread priority

Java example to get thread priority.
Submitted by Nidhi, on April 08, 2022

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create a thread with the runnable interface. Then we will create multiple threads and get the priorities of threads using the getPriority() method. The default priority of a thread is 5.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to get thread priority is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Java program to get thread priority

class MyThread implements Runnable {
  public void run() {
    try {
      System.out.println("Thread : " + Thread.currentThread().getId());
    } catch (Exception e) {

    }
  }
}

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Thread t1 = new Thread(new MyThread());
    Thread t2 = new Thread(new MyThread());
    Thread t3 = new Thread(new MyThread());

    System.out.println("Thread Priority: " + t1.getPriority());
    System.out.println("Thread Priority: " + t2.getPriority());
    System.out.println("Thread Priority: " + t3.getPriority());

    t1.start();
    t2.start();
    t3.start();
  }
}

Output:

Thread Priority: 5
Thread Priority: 5
Thread Priority: 5
Thread : 12
Thread : 10
Thread : 11

Explanation:

In the above program, we created two classes MyThread and Main. We created MyThread class by implementing the Runnable interface.

The Main class contains a main() method. The main() method is the entry point for the program. Here we created the three threads and got the priorities of threads using the getPriority() method and printed the result.
