The different stages of the Life Cycle of a Thread can be stated as follows.
Stage 1: Creating a class where we can override the run method of the Thread class.
Stage 2: We make a call to start() on the new thread. The thread is taken forward for scheduling purposes.
Stage 3: Execution takes place wherein the thread starts execution, and it reaches the running state.
Stage 4: Thread wait until the calls to methods including join() and sleep() takes place.
Stage 5: After the waiting or execution of the thread, the waiting thread is sent for scheduling.
Stage 6: Running thread is done by executing the terminates and reaches the dead state.
