Is it run() method for a thread?

[sasi]

Hai everybody,

I need to clarify a dout regarding thread's, means we all write the run()method(what is the purpose of it?),as per i concern it is meant for contineous running purpose,so we are telling for contineous running we implement run method, so is their any requirement to specify any loop inside the run method for contineous running or not is the question?

Well, your vision is incorrect.

It is not "meant for contineous running purpose". It is simply an entry point to the thread (invoked by start() method), such as main function is an entry point for java application.
If you want a thread to run continuously, you would have to define your own loop inside run method.
