    { 
        cout<<endl<<"In Thread 1"<<endl;

{
    for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
    { 
        cout<<endl<<"In Thread 2"<<endl;

{
    int status;
    // creating thread objects
    pthread_t thrd_1;
    pthread_t thrd_2;
    // create thread
    pthread_create(&thrd_1,NULL,fun_thread1,(void *)0);
    pthread_create(&thrd_2,NULL,fun_thread2,(void *)0);    
    pthread_join(thrd_1, (void **)&status);
    pthread_join(thrd_2, (void **)&status);
    system("PAUSE");
