It it hard to figure it out myself that how current thread works in this code worked

class MyThread extends Thread{ //
    public void run(){
        Thread t1=Thread.currentThread();
        System.out.println(t1.getName());
    }
 }
 class Demo{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        Thread t1=new MyThread();
        t1.setName("MyThread");
        t1.run();
        t1.start();
    }
 }

It prints "main" when it calls run().Why it is not the "MyThread"

It is not the MyThread class because run() method is just call, it is still running in the context of the main thread.

A thread itself does not turn into a new thread until call to start() which happens after the call to run().
