reuse a thread which is no longer "alive"

[sayoyo]

Hi,

Is there some way that we can reuse a thread by replacing the runnable
object of the thread? like a thread is not "alive" anymore, then we remove
the runnable object(is it possible????) and then run it again.

Thanks you very much

Not on that level, no.

But it's not all that difficult to write a class that takes a Runnable,
executes its run() method and then waits to recieve a new Runnable instead
of finishing its own run() method. This is known as a thread pool:
