static void sleep()

[j2me64]

According to the API specification the method sleep(long millis, int nanos) in the Thread class is overloaded, so that an long argument will execute the method with millis and and int argument will execute the sleep method with nanos. My question is, when I execute something like

Thread.currentThread().sleep(500);

the value 500 is an int and the method should run with 500 nanos. But when I look at the behavior of the executed code the 500 are interpreted as millis. Does that mean that the 500 are interpreted as a long value?

Huh? The overload you refer to takes two arguments.

Yes, this is the content and description of the sleep method in the java api 7. you must read it as either a long is passed OR a an int and not both! but the question is: a long argument will execute the method with millis and a call with an int argument will execute the sleep method with nanos. My question is, when I execute something like

Thread.currentThread().sleep(500);

the value 500 is an int and the method should run with 500 nanos. But when I look at the behavior of the executed code the 500 are interpreted as millis. Does that mean that the 500 are interpreted as a long value? Hope you get my question.

There's only one overload of sleep(...) that takes a single argument, and that argument is of type long and represents a millisecond value.

There is no overload of sleep(...) that takes a single int argument.

There is an overload of sleep(...) that takes two arguments, a long that represents milliseconds and an int that represents nanoseconds.

ok, my question is already anwered.
