void ThreadTask()
{
    for (unsigned int i{ 0 }; i < 20; ++i)
    {/* w w w  . j a v  a2 s . c  om*/
        cout << "Output from thread" << endl;
    }
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    const unsigned int numberOfProcessors{ thread::hardware_concurrency() };

    cout << "This system can run " << numberOfProcessors << " concurrent tasks" << endl;

    if (numberOfProcessors > 1)
    {
        thread myThread{ ThreadTask };

        cout << "Output from main" << endl;

        myThread.join();
    }
