Threads

Hello

I'm creating a thread, eg MyThread thread = new MyThread("FreddyTheThready");.

After running it, I am interrupting it. I want to be able to print out the threads name eg, 'System.out.println( thread.getName + " was interrupted")', So "FreddyTheThready was interrupted", what call to super would I have to do this. If i just call the getName method, it returns numerical value and not the name I gave it.

Thanks.

Are you calling super(name) in your constructor?

No. Could I do it that way? Could you show me a sample? :)

I take it from your first reply that you have written your own class MyThread which extends Thread and it has a constructor that accepts a String as a parameter. Then all you need to do is place super(name), or whatever your parameter is called, as the first line of your constructor.

You should have covered the basics of calling super when you did inheritance. Go back and read your book and/or course material.
