Console threading

[Slobodan46]

Greetings fellow programmers!

I've got a slight problem i want you to help me with

I want to create a console application that can be started from the command prompt, with a
argument specifying how many threads to be created.
Each thread must print out their number, which
it gets when it is started, 10 times in a row, followed by new line.
This print is repeated as long as
a common stop-variable is set to "false". The main program that starts all the threads must
stop all the threads via the common stop variable when you press enter.

This is todays assignment for yall!

TIA

Finished! Do I get a prize now?

Anyway, this forum isn't a "do my homework for me" kind of forum. It's more of a "help people who get stuck" kind of forum. In other words, we can't help you unless you get stuck on something and show us where you got stuck.

Seems easy enough. Pay more attention in class

Seriously dude, show us your code, then we show you our code...

This is easy:
check your argument and create an array of threads. That's it!

Try this :

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        RunThreads(10);
    }

    static private void RunThreads(int threadCount)
    {
        Thread[] threads = new Thread[threadCount];

        for (int threadIndex = 0; threadIndex < threadCount; ++threadIndex)
        {
            threads[threadIndex] = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(ThreadFunction));
            threads[threadIndex].Start(threadIndex);
        }

        foreach (Thread thread in threads)
        {
            thread.Join();
        }
    }

    static private void ThreadFunction(object state)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I will do my own homework in future {0}", state);
    }
}

First of all, thanks alot for the help!
I'm a 100% newbie to this so nothing makes any sense, not even after 10 hours of googling and studying through course material. The assignment isn't adapted for our previous knowledge, especially not in console programming. It's my first assignment of this kind ever.
I'm not trying to shoulder the blame at my laziness, it's just not making any sense to me (yet).
Mutant_Fruit: I completely understand your reaction!

Thanks again dudes(and girls)!

I hope he doesn't hand in my code snippet without reading and trying it out first... ha ha ha !

Newbie and then trying to handle multiple threads?
Maybe you should start with some low level exercises?
