Java Thread wait() => blocked?

Question

According to Java thread state info calling wait() will result a thread to go in BLOCKED state. However this piece of code will result (after being called) in a Thread in WA

Answer 1

There is some confusing terminology going on here. When a thread calls wait on an object it goes into the WAIT state. When threads are waiting to grab a lock, they belong to the wait set for that lock, but they are in the BLOCKED state.

Confusing but somehow it makes sense!
