# Class InterruptedException

java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Exception
java.lang.InterruptedException

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class InterruptedException extends Exception
Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity. Occasionally a method may wish to test whether the current thread has been interrupted, and if so, to immediately throw this exception. The following code can be used to achieve this effect:

    if (Thread.interrupted())  // Clears interrupted status!
        throw new InterruptedException();
