When using while(true) loop in main thread with Thread.sleep() the child threads works fine but if i remove sleep method from while loop the child threads do not work. I mean, thread defines parallelism so it should work ?

Why Child Threads do not work when using while(true) loop in main thread without sleep?

Re: Why Child Threads do not work when using while(true) loop in main thread without sleep?
Please explain what "do not work" means.child threads do not work.
Using sleep in one thread would allow another thread to have more use of a CPU.
It is up to the OS to decide which thread gets to execute. If a thread is executing and does not do anything to pause its execution, it can continue executing for a while.
How many cores/cpus does your PC have?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
