A thread can be in one of the following states:

State	Description
NEW	A thread that has not yet started is in this state.
RUNNABLE	A thread executing in the Java virtual machine is in this state.
BLOCKED	A thread that is blocked waiting for a monitor lock is in this state.
WAITING	A thread that is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a particular action is in this state.
TIMED_WAITING	A thread that is waiting for another thread to perform an action for up to a specified waiting time is in this state.
TERMINATED	A thread that has exited is in this state.

Create two (2) threads named by the user. Display their various states using getState( ).

In the main method:

1. Enable user input.
2. Create two (2) threads.
3. Ask the user to enter a name for each thread.
4. Show the names and states of the threads.
5. Start the threads.
6. Have the threads sleep for half a second.
7. Show the names and states of the threads.

In the run( ) method, show the name and state of the current thread.

Sample Output:

Name your first thread: Task A Name your second thread: Task B Task A is NEW Task B is NEW

Starting the threads... Task A is RUNNABLE Task B is RUNNABLE

After sleep... Task A is TERMINATED Task B is TERMINATED
