Will you consider add those after the io?

    executor.shutdown();
    executor.awaitTermination(100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

The expected output is that System.out.println(f1.get() + " - " + f2.get());
will take 140 ms to return?

No, both future will start in parallel. It will take less than (100+40) ms.

expression in sysout will take approximately 100ms to get evaluated

It will take 140ms approximately if there is single core, otherwise it will do 100ms

@limxtop1989 It will not take 140ms on single core because both threads can sleep in parallel, it will not wait for one thread's sleep to finish before executing another thread.
