What are some basic examples of threading in C#?

In C#, threading allows you to run multiple operations concurrently. A basic example is using the Thread class to create a new thread.

Can you show me a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Thread thread = new Thread(WriteNumbers);
        thread.Start();
        thread.Join(); // Wait for the thread to finish
    }

    static void WriteNumbers()
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
            Thread.Sleep(1000); // Sleep for 1 second
        }
    }
}

What does the Thread.Sleep method do?

Thread.Sleep pauses the execution of the current thread for a specified amount of time, allowing other threads to run.

Are there any other ways to handle threading in C#?

Yes, you can also use the Task class and async/await for more advanced threading and asynchronous programming.
