A:
No, you can't. Calling run will execute run() method in the same thread, without starting new thread.

@Dev er dev, Technically, you can call the run() method directly because it is part of the public interface. So you're answer isn't technically accurate.

A:
Because start() doesnt just call run(). It starts a new thread and in that thread calls run().

A:
you can't run directly the run() method. Whenever start your thread by using thread.start(), then the run() method has been called and performed the further operation.
