In this exercise you will try some simple features of the thread API
Make a new project in Visual Studio.
In a class make a method void Print() which loops 10 times, print the same message (like "hello world") to the screen.
From the Main() call the Print() method 4 times.
Refactor the Main() to use 4 Thread objects to call Print() 4 times.
Add a parameter string Message to the Print() method.
The Print() method must print the message specified.
Adapt Main()s, that the 4 Thread object now print different messages. Hint use a lambda expression: new Thread(() => print("some message"));
Add another parameter int numberOfTimes to the Print() method.
The Print() method must print the message "NumberOfTimes" times.
Adapt Main() ...
Assign each Thread object a name using the Name property of Thread.
Print the Name in the Print() method.
Hint: Thread.CurrentThread.Name gets the name of the current thread (useful in the Print method)
Try the Thread.Sleep(...) method in Print().
Try to Join the Thread objects, and after that Main() should print "This is it".
Add different priorities to the Thread object before you start them.
Adapt the Print() method to write the priority of the current thread: Thread.CurrentThread.Name
Does the priorities have any effect?
Change Main() to use a thread pool to manage your Thread objects.
Threads run by the thread pool are background threads. They are killed as soon as the foreground thread (Main) is done. Hint: Add a Console.ReadLine() to the end of Main.
