Can you list and describe the main states a thread can be in?

Main thread states in Java:

• New — the thread is created but the start() method has not yet been called.
• Runnable — the thread is ready to run and waiting for the scheduler.
• Running — the thread is executing (this is an implicit state as JVM manages switching).
• Blocked — the thread is waiting to acquire a monitor (e.g., entering a synchronized block).
• Waiting — the thread is waiting for a notification (wait(), join() without timeout).
• Timed Waiting — the thread is waiting for a specified period (sleep(), join() with timeout).
• Terminated — the thread has finished execution.

These states help manage multithreading and synchronization in Java.
