Creating, Starting, and Joining Threads

Know the Vocabulary

This lesson uses the terms below many times. Read them once now, and come back here when a later section needs one.

  • Thread: One path of work inside a program. A program can run many threads at the same time.
  • Main thread: The thread that a program starts with. It runs the main function, or the top of a Python script.
  • Worker thread: A thread that another thread creates to do one part of the work.
  • Create (a thread): To make a thread object that knows which code to run. In most languages, nothing runs yet.
