Pthread example code in C++ with and without synchronization

//Thread example in C++. One thread should prints odd numbers and the other thread should print the even numbers. Example without synchronization.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int count=0; //global variable accessed by two threads
int maxx=10;
void* even(void *v)
{
cout<<"even thread"<<endl;
while(count<maxx)
{
if((count%2)==0)
{
cout<<count++<<" ";
//count++;
}
}
pthread_exit(0);//pthread_exit is called from the thread itself to terminate its execution (and return a result) early.
}
void* odd(void *o)
{
cout<<"odd thread"<<endl;
while(count<maxx)
{
if((count%2)==1)
{
cout<<count++<<" ";
//count++;// then proper order :)
}
}
pthread_exit(0);
}

int main()
{
pthread_t t1;
pthread_t t2;

pthread_create(&t1,NULL,&even,NULL);
pthread_create(&t2,NULL,&odd,NULL);
pthread_join(t1,0);
pthread_join(t2,0);
//pthread_join is called from another thread to wait for a thread to terminate and obtain its return value
cout<<endl;
return 0;
}
//OUTPUT
~$ g++ test1.cpp -lpthread
~$ ./a.out
