Ex-6Implement Threading & Synchronization Applications

This C code implements threading and synchronization using pthreads. It creates two threads using pthread_create and assigns each thread the doSomething function. doSomething increments a shared counter variable, prints a start and finish message, and contains a for loop to simulate work. The main thread then waits for the two created threads to finish using pthread_join before ending. When run, it prints the start and finish messages from each thread in no particular order, demonstrating asynchronous parallel execution.
