Scala - Printing State of the Thread

Here, we will create a class by extending the Thread class and implement the run() method.

Scala code to print the state of the thread

The source code to print the state of the thread is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to print the state of thread

class MyThread extends Thread {
  override def run() {
    println("Thread state: " + this.getState());
  }
}

object Sample {
  // Main method
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    var thrd = new MyThread();

    println("State :" + thrd.getState());
    thrd.start();
  }
}

Output

State :NEW
Thread state: RUNNABLE

Explanation

Here, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we created an object Sample.

Here, we created a class MyThread by extending the thread class and implement the run() method.

And, we also created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we created an object of the MyThread class and print the thread states on the console screen.
