which is Default thread?

When I said "default thread name," I meant "the name that is assigned to threads, by default." There is no such thing as a "default thread."

Default thread is below thread in the code right?

There is no such thing as a "default thread."

In that code, that thread is being assigned a default name, because you didn't specify one. That's what dpearson and I were talking about on Friday.
