What will be the output of the program? class MyThread extends Thread { public static void main(String [] args) { MyThread t = new MyThread(); /* Line 5 / t.run(); / Line 6 */ } public void run() { for(int i=1; i < 3; ++i) { System.out.print(i + ".."); } } }

This code will not compile due to line 5.
This code will not compile due to line 6.
1..2..
1..2..3..

Correct Answer: 1..2..

Explanation:

Line 6 calls the run() method, so the run() method executes as a normal method should and it prints "1..2.."

A is incorrect because line 5 is the proper way to create an object.

B is incorrect because it is legal to call the run() method, even though this will not start a true thread of execution. The code after line 6 will not execute until the run() method is complete.

D is incorrect because the for loop only does two iterations.
