Java Garage

Java keyword referring to the current object instance.

The java.lang.Thread class defines the behavior of a single thread of control inside the JVM. It can be subclassed to create threads within your application. The other way to create a thread is to write a class that implements the java.lang.Runnable interface.

A thread represents the basic unit of execution in an application. One process may have multiple threads running at once, with each performing a different function. When a thread is executed, local variables are stored in a separate memory space, so that different instances do not confuse or overwrite each other's values.

Java keyword used when the programmer means to generate a new instance of an exception type for handling by the caller. For example: throw new GarageException("Houston, we have a problem:"); .

Java keyword used in method declarations to indicate that the method will pass the specified exceptions up to the caller to deal with.

Java keyword indicating that a field should not be considered part of the persistent state of an object, and should therefore not be serialized in an ObjectStream. Does not apply to any element but variables.

Java keyword specifying a block of code as one in which an exception might occur, and which consequently must be accompanied by one or more catch blocks to deal with the exception.
