Why we call Thread.start() method which in turns calls run method?

Question

Why do we call the thread object\'s start() method which in turns calls run() method, why not we directly call run() method?

Answer 1

start() and run() methods are used for running a thread.The run() method is just an ordinary method, it is overridden by the user and it will be called on the current thread. The start() method runs the run() method indirectly and creates a new thread.
