Thread: Multiprocessing variation question

I was just wondering, for doing two things at once, if the following was possible...

Code:

while (doing something)
do something else

I was thinking like running a function in the ( ) of the while loop, which would technically mean run that WHILE also running the things inside the loop. Any help?

That's totally fine, but it's technically not being run at the same time - you would need to create Multi-process code for that ie. "Threading".

What happened to that thread example I gave you? j/k
Stiff is mostly right, but consider this: a function like kbhit() is interrupt driven, thus, to some extent, it can simulate multithreading:

Code:

void ProcessData(){ 
 printf("...processing...\n");
 }

void AddData(){ 
 printf("Data added.\n");
 system("pause");
 }



int main(){

int done = 0;

do{ 


while( !kbhit() ){
 ProcessData();
}

printf("The process has been interrupted.\n"
         "What would you like to do?\n\n"
         "A) Add data to be processed.\n"
         "B) Continue processing.\n"
         "C) Exit.\n\n    "); 

 switch(tolower(getch())){
  case 'a': AddData(); break;
  case 'c': done = 1; break;
  }

}while( !done );


 return 0;
}

I know Sebastiani, but I was just wondering if I could do it this other way, instead of multithreading.
Thanks.
