posix threads

Programming Assignment #2 --- POSIX Threads and Signals

1. Your task in this assignment will be to write a routine which creates threads, has them do work in parallel, and then terminates when the last thread has completed. The Setup: There are several students sitting near each other rooting for their favorite teams. Each student will cheer for his or her team some given number of times. The Program: Your task is to write a program which will simulate this cheering. The program should be called cheer.c, and should generate an executable called cheer. When the program is run from a command line prompt, arguments may be given to specify how many times. The main() routine then creates a thread for each team, and each thread is responsible for cheering a random number of times (range between 1:10) and for the correct number of teams team. A global counter of the number of cheers printed for each team will need to be kept.
   Have a read-only array of 10 possible teams eg. (“Bulldogs”,”Pirates”,”Tigers”,”Lions”,,…) A cheer for a particular team looks like this: "Go Pirates!" A sample run would look something like this with 4 threads: % cheer 4 Go Bulldogs! Go Bulldogs! Go Bulldogs! Go Bulldogs! Go Tigers! Go Lions! Go Lions! Go Pirates! Go Pirates! Go Pirates! 9 – Cheers! %
