It all really depends on the platform you'll be using.
If you are using Microsofts API, I would start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kdzttdcb(VS.71).aspx.

There is also pthreads, which is more often used on linux systems A good place to begin is here: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/

Lastly there is boost, which is a large set of libraries: I'm not familiar with this particular API, though I do find boost useful. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/thread.html

Hi skaoth, I am writing a multithreaded C++ application using Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003. I plan to have one thread which will open a command prompt and print 'hello', say n times and in the mean time other thread opens another command prompt which will print 'World' say m times. The main thread will open print 'Hello World' on the command prompt.

I don't know if I can make it work this way, but I am going to try. I will appreciate any help.

If I were you I'd try and keep things simple. At this point I wouldn't worry about "opening up a command prompt" for each of the 2 threads. Displaying the output onto 1 command prompt window should be work just fine. Concentrate on getting your threads working first.

Keep things simple until you know the threads do what you want, only then should you increase the complexity.

Hi skaoth
You were so right, when I started coding I felt stuck, and so I started with the basics of just trying to get my threads right smile.gif. Thanks.
