Java Thread.interrupt() is a method in the Java Thread class that interrupts a thread, signaling it to stop its current execution. This is typically used for cooperative cancellation in multi-threaded applications, where threads check for an interrupt signal to halt their processing. Introduced in Java 1995 with Java 1.0, interrupt() is essential for managing thread lifecycles and ensuring responsive, controlled execution in concurrent systems.
