In this lesson, the very first line mentioned " Both issues from the previous lesson are actually race conditions", could you please elaborate on this? What are those issues? I have gone through earlier lesson, but I don’t see any scenario of race condition?
The outcome of the program depends on the interleaving of the threads in two ways.
- The created thread has not enough time to display its id.
- The created thread has not enough time to calculate the sum.
The second race condition is a data race because the created thread writes the shared variable (line 11) and the creator thread reads the shared variable (line 26).
