Program Plan Intro

Thread counting

Program Plan:

• Include required header file for thread and chrono seconds.
• Define function “countingThread” with two arguments stop value pointer and count value pointer.
  • Performs “while” loop. This loop performs upto the stop value.
    • User need to wait one second using “chrono” seconds.
    • Increment the count value pointer
    • If the count value is equal to “0”, then display count value.
• Define main function.
  • Initializes the stop value in “bool” type.
  • Initializes the count to “1”.
  • Generate thread with counting thread function, stop value and count.
  • Initializes the number to “0”.
  • Performs “do-while” loop. This loop will execute upto, the number is less than count
    • Read the number from user.
  • Assign stop count value to “true”.
  • Wait for thread to complete by using “join” function.
