🧵Threading

Threading in C++ allows for concurrent execution of different parts of a program, which can improve performance and responsiveness, especially in multi-core systems. Here are some basic concepts of threading in C++:

1. Thread creation: You can create threads using the std::thread class from the <thread> header.

2. Thread functions: These are the functions that run in separate threads.

3. Joining threads: The join() method waits for a thread to complete its execution.

4. Detaching threads: The detach() method allows a thread to run independently.

5. Mutex (Mutual Exclusion): Used to protect shared resources from concurrent access.

6. Lock guards: RAII-style wrappers for mutexes to ensure proper locking and unlocking.

7. Condition variables: Used for thread synchronization and communication.

8. Atomic operations: Provide thread-safe access to shared variables without explicit locking.
