what is the kind of code that's written inside a dead lock scenario below?

Question

While looking up pieces of code that can cause deadlocks using threads, I came across this piece of code :

Thread t1 = new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            while(true){
                synchronized(str1){
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(10);
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    }
                    synchronized(str2){
                        System.out.println(str1 + "::"+str2);
                    }
                }
            }

        }

    };

After declaring and instantiating a Thread object, it seems inside that thread the run method is written with accompanying logic and the Thread definition ends by closing the brace with semi colon .

What is the name of such a block of code? Is this what is called as an anonymous block?

It's an "anonymous class". https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/anonymousclasses.html — JB Nizet, Nov 15 '14 at 12:34

This is an anonymous class isntance. This code creates an instance of an anonymous class (i.e. it has no name) that extends Thread class and overrides its run method.
