Write a multithreaded C++, Pthread program that outputs prime numbers <= N. This program should work as follows: the user will run the program and will enter a number N on the command line. The program will then create a separate thread that outputs all the prime numbers less than or equal to N specified in the command-line argument.

Question

Write a multithreaded C++, Pthread program that outputs prime numbers <= N. This program should work as follows: the user will run the program and will enter a number N on the command line. The program will then create a separate thread that outputs all the prime numbers less than or equal to N specified in the command-line argument. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Algorithm:

1. Start.

2. Take an integer N as input from the user.

3. Create a thread and store the thread's ID in the pthread_t variable thread.

4. Call the pthread_create() function using the thread variable and the findPrimes() function as its parameter.

5. In the findPrimes() function iterate through all the numbers from 2 to N.

6. Check if the current number is prime using the isPrime() function.

7. If the number is prime, print it to the console.

8. Call the pthread_join() function to wait for the thread to finish executing.

9. Exit.
