Java
class Demonstration {public static void main( String args[] ) throws InterruptedException {InterruptExample.example();}}class InterruptExample {static public void example() throws InterruptedException {final Thread sleepyThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {public void run() {try {System.out.println("I am too sleepy... Let me sleep for an hour.");Thread.sleep(1000 * 60 * 60);} catch (InterruptedException ie) {System.out.println("The interrupt flag is cleard : " + Thread.interrupted() + " " + Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());Thread.currentThread().interrupt();System.out.println("Oh someone woke me up ! ");System.out.println("The interrupt flag is set now : " + Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted() + " " + Thread.interrupted());}}});sleepyThread.start();System.out.println("About to wake up the sleepy thread ...");sleepyThread.interrupt();System.out.println("Woke up sleepy thread ...");sleepyThread.join();}}
