What is the difference between the interrupted() and isInterrupted() method in Java ?

interrupted

Declaration of interrupted:

public static boolean interrupted()

Tests whether the current thread has been interrupted. The interrupted status of the thread is cleared by this method. In other words, if this method were to be called twice in succession, the second call would return false (unless the current thread were interrupted again, after the first call had cleared its interrupted status and before the second call had examined it).

A thread interruption ignored because a thread was not alive at the time of the interrupt will be reflected by this method returning false.

It Returns true if the current thread has been interrupted, false otherwise.

isInterrupted

Declaration of isInterrupted:

public boolean isInterrupted()

Tests whether this thread has been interrupted. The interrupted status of the thread is unaffected by this method.

A thread interruption ignored because a thread was not alive at the time of the interrupt will be reflected by this method returning false.

It Returns true if this thread has been interrupted, false otherwise.
