What does t == this mean in code?

Question

Java

I don't understand how to understand the code t == this. creatorThread variable of type Thread. This class extends Thread.

Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
if ( t == creatorThread ) {
    System.out.println(“Creator thread”);
} else if ( t == this ) {
    System.out.println(“New thread”);
}

Answer 1

Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
if ( t == creatorThread ) {
System.out.println("Creator thread");
} else if ( t == this ) {
System.out.println("new thread");
}
In general, the code is... elegant, but complicated. (purely my opinion)

Answer 2

This is a comparison of the references of two objects. Those. if the current object and t are equivalent by reference, then the expression will be true.
