loops, processes, multithreading

[abdul]

I work with turing these days and you can run two or more loops at the same time if you use a process.
Is the same kind of method called multithreading in C++ programming?
And what is it called in vb?

It's called multithreading in any language to do more than one task at the "same" time. (You can only truly multithread on a multiprocessor machine, but thanks to timeslicing you can fake multithreading on any computer.)

abdul, I juz workout a sample code for you and using Thread for 2 different do...loop

That is really cool. I will check the example out after I install VS.

I thought that vb provides its own routines for multithreading but you need to use the Windows API calls as you do in C++...right?

[filburt1]

Java is designed for easy multithreading.

[abdul]

turing does the same.

I don't know if it supports API calls.

BTW I am making a program that play around with a students database. I will post the exe or the code, and if you find any error in its design then I will try to correct it, and will give it to the teacher.
