Last Updated : December 15, 2025

Problem Solution

In this program, we will create a method and bind created method with thread using Thread.new() and execute created thread.

Program/Source Code

The source code to create a simple thread is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on Windows 10 Operating System successfully.

# Ruby program to create 
# a simple thread

# Thread method
def ThreadFun()
	puts "Thread executed";
end

# Create a thread
t = Thread.new{ThreadFun()};

# Join created thread.
t.join();

puts "Program finished";

Output

Thread executed
Program finished

Explanation

In the above program, we created a method ThreadFun(). Then we created an object of the Thread class and bind with the method ThreadFun(). After that, we joined the created thread for execution and printed the "Thread executed" message. At last, we printed the "Program finished" message.
