Understanding the Java Thread Life Cycle doesn’t have to be complicated.
It all starts with New — when a thread is created but not yet started.
Runnable — ready to run, waiting for CPU time.
Running — actively executing.
Blocked or Waiting — paused, either due to locks or conditions.
And finally, Terminated — when execution finishes.
Master these simple stages — and you’ll master multithreading faster than you think.
