In Java multithreading environment, one thread can send an interrupt to another by calling the interrupt() method on the Thread object for the target thread (i.e., the thread to be interrupted). To handle interrupts in a target thread, Java allows two approaches. One is performed by writing an exception handler for InterruptedException (only applicable if the target thread is invoking methods which throw that exception such as sleep). The other approach is performed by periodically checking the interrupt status flag Thread.interrupted and performing the handling routine when that flag is set to true. Write a Java program that illustrates the use of the two approaches described above. Your program should start by creating two threads, each thread should use different interrupt handling approach. Then, the program needs to send interrupts to each one of the created threads such that a thread needs to return (i.e., stop execution) after receiving an interrupt from the main thread. Make sure to output (print out) the status of each thread before and after being interrupted
