What are the different states of a Java thread?

In Java, a thread can be in one of several states: NEW, RUNNABLE, BLOCKED, WAITING, TIMED_WAITING, or TERMINATED.

Can you explain what each state means?

Sure! The NEW state means the thread is created but not yet started. RUNNABLE means it's ready to run or is currently running. BLOCKED occurs when a thread is waiting for a monitor lock. WAITING is when a thread is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a particular action. TIMED_WAITING is similar but with a specified waiting time. TERMINATED means the thread has completed its execution.

You can transition threads using methods like start(), sleep(), wait(), notify(), and join(). Each method affects the thread's state accordingly.

Yes, it's important to minimize the time a thread spends in BLOCKED or WAITING states to improve performance. Also, avoid unnecessary thread creation and use thread pools when possible.
