Ok so, I searched for this answer all over the internet but I am getting the answers which just run these functions one after the other
import time
def a():
time.sleep(5)
print("lmao")
def b():
time.sleep(5)
print("not so lmao huh")
I want "lmao" and "not so lmao" to be printed at the same time ( after 5 seconds)
The solutions which I saw all over the internet just printed "lmao" after 5 seconds of starting the program and "not so lmao huh" after 5 seconds of a()
As Far as i understood your question you should use threading for it. you can refer this guide Threading. If you need any clarification feel free to comment.
import thread
import time
# Define a function for the thread
def print_time( threadName, delay):
count = 0
while count < 5:
time.sleep(delay)
count += 1
print "%s: %s" % ( threadName, time.ctime(time.time()) )
# Create two threads as follows
try:
thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-1", 2, ) )
thread.start_new_thread( print_time, ("Thread-2", 4, ) )
except:
print "Error: unable to start thread"
while 1:
pass
If you want to run your functions parallel, then you may want to use the multiprocessing.
You can create some processes and execute your function in them.
For example:
import time
import multiprocessing as mp
from multiprocessing.context import Process
def a():
time.sleep(5)
print("lmao")
def b():
time.sleep(5)
print("not so lmao huh")
if __name__ == '__main__':
p1: Process = mp.Process(target=a)
p2: Process = mp.Process(target=b)
p1.start()
p2.start()
p1.join()
p2.join()
There are also such API for coroutines and tasks and threading. Maybe you will find them more convenient.
if __name__ .... For more information see here. I will edit the answer.
