How to do it...

In this section, we'll learn how to use std::thread with a basic scenario (create and join) and how to pass and receive parameters to it:

1. std::thread: By using the basic thread methods, create and join, write the following code:

#include <iostream>#include <thread>void threadFunction1 ();int main(){    std::thread t1 {threadFunction1};    t1.join();    return 0;}void threadFunction1 (){    std::cout << "starting thread 1 ... " << std::endl;    std::cout << "end thread 1 ... " << std::endl;}

2. Compile it with g++ concurrency_01.cpp -lpthread.

The second example is similar to the previous one but in this case, we pass and get parameters:

1. std::thread: Create and join a thread, passing a parameter and getting a result. Write the following ...
