C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - Creating Threads

The video tutorial explains threading in programming, highlighting tasks suitable for threading, such as divisible tasks and pipelining. It provides a step-by-step guide to creating threads and demonstrates with an ATM program example. The tutorial also discusses hardware support for threads and addresses common issues like shared memory problems, which can lead to unexpected results. The video concludes with a look at compiling and running threaded code, setting the stage for a follow-up on using locks to manage shared resources.
