Hi guys,
I'm kinda new to pthreading and so I made this program that prints "hello" 10 times but I wanted to have a delay where it puts "hello" in one second between time interval (like a stopwatch). Unfortunately, I used the sleep(1) function and it only prints out one "hello" then the program exits.
Output:
hello
Expected output:
hello
// one second later
hello
// one second later
8 hellos later with one second in between
Here is the following code I've been testing on:
#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
using namespace std;
void *print(void *arg){
bool ticking = true;
int i = 0;
char *s = (char *) arg;
pthread_detach(pthread_self());
while(ticking && i < 10){
cout << s << endl;
sleep(1); //one second stop
i++;
}
return 0;
}
int main(){
pthread_t tid;
pthread_create(&tid, 0, print, (void *) "hello");
return 0;
}
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.
