Explanation:
1 SetNameExample Class:
• This class extends the Thread class, indicating that instances of this class can be executed as separate
threads.
2 run() Method:
• The run() method overrides the run() method of the Thread class, defining the behavior of the thread when
it starts.
• Inside the run() method, it prints “Thread is running...” to indicate that the thread has started its execution.
3 main() Method:
• This method serves as the entry point of the program.
• Inside main():

• An instance of the SetNameExample class named setNameThread is created.
• The setName() method is invoked on setNameThread to set the name of the thread to “CustomThreadName”.
• The start() method is invoked on setNameThread to begin the execution of the thread.
• Immediately after starting the thread, getName() method is called on setNameThread to retrieve the name
of the thread.
• The name of the thread is then printed.
4 Output:
• When the program is executed:

• The thread starts its execution and prints “Thread is running...”.
• Meanwhile, in the main thread, the name of the thread (CustomThreadName) is retrieved using the
getName() method and printed.

• No explicit exception handling is performed in this program.
This program demonstrates how to set and get the name of a thread in Java using the setName() and getName()
methods. Naming threads can be helpful for identification and debugging purposes in multithreaded applications.
