Quick question, the answer is eluding me on the internet. Which is unusual.
When we reference and call a sub/function from a class is it automatically started on a new thread or will it join the main thread?
Cheers in advance.

Edit: is that also true if we start new instance of that class?

yes. If you want it in another thread then you have to specifically create a new thread, then start a new instance of the class from within that new thread. New threads are never ever started all by themselves, you have to do it yourself.
