printing odd and even number printing alternately using threads in C++

Question

Odd even number printing using thread I came across this question and wanted to discuss solution in C++ . What I can think of using 2 binary semaphores odd and even semapho

Answer 1

#include 
#include 
#include 

std::mutex mu;
unsigned int change = 0;

void printConsecutiveNumbers(int start, int end,unsigned int consecutive)
{
    int x = start;
    while (x < end)
    {
        //each thread has check there time is coming or not
        if (change % consecutive == start)
        {
            std::unique_lock locker(mu);
            std::cout << "Thread " << start << " -> " << x << std::endl;
            x += consecutive;
            change++;
            //to counter overflow
            change %= consecutive;
        }
    }
}

int main()
{
    //change num = 2 for printing odd and even
    const int num = 7;
    const int endValue = 1000;
    std::thread threads[num];
    //Create each consecutive threads
    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
    {
        threads[i] = std::thread(printConsecutiveNumbers, i, endValue, num);
    }

    //Joins all thread to the main thread
    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
    {
        threads[i].join();
    }

    return 0;
}
