to find the square and cube of a number as shown in the below screenshot.

import threading

def square(num):
print("Square: {}".format(num * num))

def cube(num):
print("Cube: {}".format(num * num * num))

thread1 = threading.Thread(target=square, args=(8,))

thread2 = threading.Thread(target=cube, args=(8,))

# start thread1
thread1.start()
print("\n")
# start thread2
thread2.start()

# wait until thread1 gets executed

thread1.join()

# wait until thread2 gets executed

thread2.join()

6. Save Multithreading.py file and click Run in the Menu and select Run Module option
