Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 04 - Theory - States of a Thread

The video tutorial explains the different states of a thread in a program. It covers the 'new' state when a thread is ready but not started, the 'terminated' state when a thread has completed execution, and the 'running' state when a thread is actively executing. The 'runnable' state is when a thread is ready to run but waiting for CPU time, while the 'blocked' state occurs when a thread is waiting for external resources or data from another thread. The tutorial provides examples and discusses the transitions between these states.
