JAVA: just a bug?

Question

Hello world!

I hope you will be able to get me out from this, I am lost!

Did I miss something regarding the setPriority() method?

The code here below works very well on my computer.

Threads Pro Challenge:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
Name name = new Name();
//set priority
name.setPriority(2);

Welcome welcome = new Welcome();
//set priority
welcome.setPriority(1);

name.start();
welcome.start();

}
}

//extend the Thread class
class Welcome extends Thread{
public void run() {
System.out.println("Welcome!");
}
}

//extend the Thread class
class Name extends Thread{
public void run() {
System.out.println("Please enter your name");
}
}

After trying to understand why, finally, I could solve the challenge by changing the code line order of the method start().

I mean:

name.start();
welcome.start();

by this:

welcome.start();
name.start();

I was really happy to solve the challenge but at the end it seems me that something is wrong on this exercise that I don't understand yet.

Please world, enlighten me!

Answer 1

No, it is not working properly.

No as per test verification on the pro challenge, I have screenshot to illustrate my doubt.
I am sorry if I was not clear but when I said that it works on my computer, I meant on my IDE and not in the SoloLearn platform/app.

On this exercise the setPriority() method does not work.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Using searching...

For simple operations don't rely on threads.. It depends on OS support.. Once look at this : hope it helps..
