What is the purpose of the while not Terminated in a threads execute loop?
If a thread is doing its own thing and knows when or not it has
finished what is the purpose of the while not Terminated
Your thread is busy chewing up processor time and plans to do this until
eternity. Now the user has different plans and decides to close your
application. The problem is that the application can not terminate while
your thread is chewing up processor time so your application says: "Hey
thread, please terminate".
If all of your *while* statements have a not(Terminated) and your
*until* statements include a Terminated then your thread will stop and
your application will shut down like the user will be happy.
