From textbook, I was told to implement Thread code, the run() method
need to be overriden. However, I just found below code from one java
programmer exam web site that said the reverse.

Below program compiled & ran without error. But I would like to ask if
public void start() was replaced by public void run(), how the
program's behaviour got changed ? Did the difference laid at separate
stacks being created for thread instances 'first' & 'second' if public
void run() implemented instead of public void start() ? From program
execution output I didn't see the difference. :)

public class Holt extends Thread {
private String sThreadName;
public static void main(String argv[]) {
Holt h = new Holt();
h.go();
}
Holt() {}
Holt(String s) {
sThreadName = s;
}
public String getThreadName() {
return sThreadName;
}
public void go() {
Holt first = new Holt("first");
first.start();
Holt second = new Holt("second");
second.start();
}
public void start() {
for (int i=0; i<2; i++) {
System.out.println(getThreadName()+i);
try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
}
