I need to find a way to implement multi threading into my program, i would like to implement it in a way that sends lets say 10 characters to each thread and then each thread runs the encoding process, then the same for the decoding process. Ive done some research but i cant get seem a straight answer.
//dual char hamming program
//this program takes 2 chars from a text file, converts them to binary,then
//finds and inserts parody bits in the (1,2,4,8) poistion, taks on an extra
//1 at the beginning then converts the binary string to a number
//to be saved into a txt file for later decryption.
using namespace std;
int DataEncode();
int TypeEncode();
int Decode();
int main() {
fstream Decoded, Encoded;
string command;
cout << "Enter command: (Decode or Encode or Exit): ";
while(cin >> command) {
if (command == "Encode" || command == "encode") {// start of if for(Encode)
cout << "Encode from data or type? (Data or Type): ";
cin >> command;
if (command == "Type" || command == "type") {
TypeEncode();
}
if (command == "Data" || command == "data") {
DataEncode();
}
} // end of if(Encode)
if (command == "Decode" || command == "decode")
{ // start of if for(Decode)
Decode();
cout << "Done..." << endl << endl;
} // end of if(Decode)
if (command == "Exit" || command == "exit") {
Encoded.close();
Decoded.close();
return 0;
}
cout << "Enter command: (Decode or Encode or Exit):";
}
Encoded.close();
Decoded.close();
return 0;
}//end of main
Id like to see the program improve total runtime even if its by as little as 2x
