What will be the output of the following code:

public class Main extends Thread {
	 private int a;

	 public Main() {
		 a = 2;
		 start();
		 System.out.println(a);
	 }
	 
	 public void run() {
		 a++;
	 }
	 public static void main( String[] args ) {
		 new Main();
	 }
 }
Explanation
The start() method creates new thread and calls the run() method.
Actually, start() method tells to scheduler to create and run a new thread.
But it's unknown when the execution will start.
So the answer is 'the result is undetermined as it may vary from one execution to another'.
