Answer / ranganathkini
When a thread yields, its execution is paused and loses
ownership of the monitor lock giving other waiting threads a
chance to run.
When a thread sleeps, its execution is paused for the
specified duration during such an idle period, the thread
continues to retain the ownership of the monitor lock.
