From the paper:
“The battle of Jericho, as told in Joshua 5:13 – 6:27, is a story that has captured the interest of biblical scholars, scientists, and even Sunday school classrooms with its mystery and intrigue. It is the story of how the weak were able to overtake the strong through a supernatural force, Yahweh, the Lord of Israel. There are many facets of this story that can be explored. We will look at the scientific evidence of the story’s truth, as well as biblical and moral concepts that can be derived from it. We will also discuss the time period the Israelites were living in during the battle, and how the passage relates to events occurring at that time in the Bible.”
Write a multithreaded program that calculates
Write a multithreaded program that calculates various statistical values for a list
of numbers. This program will be passed a series of numbers via either the command line or
an array in the code. Once it receives those numbers, it will then create three separate
worker threads. One thread will determine the average of the numbers, the second will
determine the maximum value, and the third will determine the minimum value. For
example, suppose your program is passed the integers: 12 75 30 91 49 52 76
The program will report:
The average value is 55
The maximum value is 91
The minimum value is 12
The variables representing the average, maximum, and minimum values will be stored
globally. The worker threads will set these values, and the parent thread will output the
values once the workers have exited.
