Question

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ParameterizedThreadStart aStart = new ParameterizedThreadStart(Addition);
            Thread aThread = new Thread(aStart);
            Data aData = new Data();
            aData.X = 10;
            aData.Y = 20;

        aThread.Start(aData);
        aThread.Join();
        Console.WriteLine("End of the program");
    }


    static void Addition(object data)
    {
        var a = data as Data;
        var b = a.X + a.Y;
        a.result = b;

        Console.WriteLine(a.result);
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        Console.WriteLine("End of thread");

    }
}  

I have written an example to understand the Join method();
Can any body explain how it works ? and what is the difference between sleep and join()

Answer 1

Join waits until the thread you’ve called it on stops. Sleep sleeps for a given time period.
