I would like to run 2 programs in parallel, like reminders in mobile but when the count starts it takes input but their will be no output until the time up. Here is the code that I used in python

from time import sleep
from threading import Thread


def timer(time, string):
    for i in range(time):
        sleep(1)
    print(string)


def timestart():
        wait = 0
        time = list(map(int, input("How long do i have to wait: ").split(':')))
        time = time[::-1]
        for i in range(len(time)):
            if i == 0:
                wait += time[i]
            else:
                wait += (60 ** 1)*time[i]
        stri = input("What should i remind You: ")
        t1 = Thread(target=timer(wait, stri))
        t1.start()


a = {
    "Who": "Hello What is your name",
    "Good": "Its good to meet you",
    "Start": "Its time to start"
}

timestart()
name = a["Who"]
print(a["Good"] + name)
print(a["Start"])

This is the output I got i put bold as output
How long do i have to wait: 30
What should i remind You: Time up
hello
no printing
only input
until time up
Time up Its good to meet youHello What is your name
Its time to start
I changed to multiprocessing can anyone help me idk how to do this

    t1 = Process(target=timer, args=(wait, stri, ))
    t1.start()
    t1.join()

It gave me the same output

you write it wrong. target should filled with the function. You have to pass the parameters via args

def timestart():
    wait = 0
    time = list(map(int, input("How long do i have to wait: ").split(':')))
    time = time[::-1]
    for i in range(len(time)):
        if i == 0:
            wait += time[i]
        else:
            wait += (60 ** 1)*time[i]
    stri = input("What should i remind You: ")
    t1 = Thread(target=timer, args=(wait, stri))
    t1.start()
