Can we run two functions parallel in C++?

Answer 1

If you create a separate thread, yes.

Answer 2

Sure, just a sec.

Answer 3

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string>

void ourFunc(const std::string& msg)
{
while (true)
{
std::cout << msg + "\n";
Sleep(5);
}
}

int main()
{
std::string msg = "I am running in a new thread!";

HANDLE threadHandle = CreateThread(nullptr, NULL, reinterpret_cast<LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE>(ourFunc),
reinterpret_cast<LPVOID>(&msg), NULL, nullptr);

//do some other stuff while ourFunc is running in a different thread.
}
