What is the function of this statement?
Without the new keyword, I assume it's not creating an object.
Is it just referencing whatever the Thread.currentThread() is?
Would it be fair to say that this statement is just pulling a reference of the object into the method so that the method perform operations on it?
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
Re: What is the function of this statement?
Did you have any questions about what the API doc says?
Find the API doc here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html
That statements assigns the value returned by the currentThread method to the variable: t.
t can then be used to call the methods for the current Thread.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
