    }  
    public static void main(String args[])
    {  
        // creating three threads 
        JavaSuspendExp t1=new JavaSuspendExp ();  
        JavaSuspendExp t2=new JavaSuspendExp (); 
        JavaSuspendExp t3=new JavaSuspendExp (); 
        // call run() method 
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
        // suspend t2 thread
