How interupt() method works in java thread?

Question

I know how to interrupt a thread. But I want to know how interrupt method works internally in java multi threading ?

The best way is to read the code. In simple terms it sets a volatile boolean however it can also cause blocking operations to throw Exceptions. — Peter Lawrey, Jul 19 '18 at 17:45

Here's a simplistic answer. If the thread is in a wait condition, an InterruptedException is thrown. If the thread is active, the thread's interrupted flag is set.
