                        ", count is " + count); 
      count++; 
    } while(count < 10);

class MainClass { 
  public static void Main() {

    MyThread mt = new MyThread("Child #1"); 
 
    do { 
      Console.Write("."); 
      Thread.Sleep(100); 
    } while (mt.count != 10); 
 
    Console.WriteLine("Main thread ending."); 
  } 
}
