Submitted by Shivang Yadav, on March 16, 2021

We need to import two libraries: threading and time,

• threading for creating and deleting threads.
• time for implementing time-based functions.

Program to create and delete threads using sleep method

import threading
import time

class ServiceProvider(threading.Thread):
    def run(self):
      while True:
        print("Service Provider....")
        time.sleep(1)

print("IN MAIN PROGRAM")
S=ServiceProvider()
S.setDaemon(True)
S.start()
time.sleep(5)
print("END OF MAIN PROGRAM")

Output:

IN MAIN PROGRAM
Service Provider....
Service Provider....
Service Provider....
Service Provider....
Service Provider....
Service Provider....
END OF MAIN PROGRAM
