Question

Understand the Application

For this lab you will create a basic application programming interface (API) for spawning multiple threads in a program using Python3's threading module.

The Program Spec

Write a program that creates a minimum of two threads with different target functions. Each thread will perform the work of each function. Each function will compute a task (described below) and print out a result.

Implementation Details

Write a program that creates a minimum of two threads using Python's threading module. The first thread will have a target function to compute and then display the result value.

The second thread will have a target function to compute and then display the result value.

In short, the n^th (2 <= n <= 5) thread will have a target function to compute and then display the result.

Your program's main function will start the threads. Do be sure to coordinate the output display so that first thread displays its result before the second thread, and so on.

Test Run Requirements:  

Here are some other tips and requirements:

1. Validate that the threads get created successfully.

2. Use a minimum of 2 threads up to a maximum of 5 threads.

3. The work of the target functions can be as basic as adding 2 numbers to as complex as solving one of our earlier lab assignments...the target function operations are up to your creation.

4. Not to mix thread output (i.e. print all of job n's output prior to job n + 1's output). You will want to use synchronization methods available in the threading module.

5. Provide a screenshot of the result output of the threads.

Thread 1 job one: 5
Thread 2 job two: 8 

Deliverable:

• yournameLab9.py  Your source code solution and a copy of the run pasted into your source submission file. Be sure to comment out your run so that your .py file will still run in the grader test bed.

Reminders:

• Include a statement in your program header to let me know which lab you would like to replace.
• There is no late submission window for this lab - all submissions due Tuesday, Mar. 17^th 11:59 PM.

Answer 1

Hey, following is the python code for your problem, I have added comments wherever required and a description at the end. Hope this helps !

We use os.getpid() function to get ID of current process.
print("ID of process running main program: {}".format(os.getpid()))
As it is clear from the output, the process ID remains same for all threads.

We use threading.main_thread() function to get the main thread object. In normal conditions, the main thread is the thread from which the Python interpreter was started. name attribute of thread object is used to get the name of thread.
print("Main thread name: {}".format(threading.main_thread().name))
We use the threading.current_thread() function to get the current thread object.
print("Task 1 assigned to thread: {}".format(threading.current_thread().name))

Here is a screenshot of the code.Please give a thumbs up if it helps
