    What is Difference between wait() and sleep()

    What is the difference between a wait() and sleep() in Threads?

    Is my understanding that a wait()-ing Thread is still in running mode and uses CPU cycles but a sleep()-ing does not consume any CPU cycles correct?

    Why do we have both wait() and sleep(): how does their implementation vary at a lower level?
