title: Current Thread Method java
body: <p>So I am trying to work with threads for a game I am making. I am <strong>very</strong> new to the subject so I may not understand correctly. My question is how does the currentThread() method work in the Thread class of the java API. The API says "Returns a reference to the currently executing thread object.", but as far as I understand multiple threads run at the same time. How is it possible to return only one executing thread?</p>
