isAlive() Example in Java

To determine whether a thread has finished. we can call isAlive() on the thread. This method is defined by Thread and its syntax is :

final boolean isAlive()

This method returns true if the thread upon which it is called is still running otherwise it returns false.

class isAliveThread implements Runnable 
             { 
                Thread t; 
                isAliveThread(String n) 
               { 
                  t=new Thread(this,n); 
                  System.out.println("Thread is :"+t); 
               } 
                      public void run() 
                     { 
                         try 
                           { 
                           for(int i=1;i<=5;i++) 
                                { 
                                   System.out.println(t.getName()+":"+i); 
                                   t.sleep(200); 
                                } 
                           } 
                                          catch(InterruptedException e) 
                                             { 
                                     System.out.println(t.getName()+" is Interrupted"); 
                                     } 
                    } 
             } 
                            class isAliveThread2 implements Runnable 
                               { 
                                   Thread t; 
                                   isAliveThread2(String n) 
                                     { 
                                        t=new Thread(this,n); 
                                System.out.println("Thread is : "+t); 
                             } 
                                        public void run() 
                                  { 
                                      try 
                                        { 
                                            for(int i=1;i<=10;i++) 
                                           { 
                                              System.out.println(t.getName()+":"+i); 
                                              t.sleep(200); 
                                           } 
                                        }    
                                                catch(InterruptedException e)                               
                                                              { 
                                                     System.out.println(t.getName()+" is interrupted"); 
                                                  } 
                                 }               
                            } 
                                     class isAliveJavaExample 
                                      { 
                                         public static void main(String args[]) 
                                         { 
                                            isAliveThread k1=new isAliveThread("AWT Thread"); 
                                            isAliveThread2 k2=new isAliveThread2("Swing Thread"); 
                                            k1.t.start();

                                            while(k1.t.isAlive() && k2.t.isAlive())

                                                    try 
                                                    { 
                                                     Thread.sleep(400);
