I want to add a feature in my project.
I have 2 functions running in a for-loop because I want to find the solution
of the functions in random arrays. I also have an function that makes random arrays. In each loop the array that is made by the random_array fun are the input
of the 2 functions.
The 2 functions print solutions in the screen , they dont return an argument.
int main(){
for (i=0;i<50 i++)
{
arr1=ramdom_array();
func1(arr1)
func2(arr1)
}
}
I need to stop the functions running if they have not ended in 5 minutes.
I have thought that I have to put in the functions something like this :
void func1(array<array<int,4>,4> initial)
{
while (5minutes_not_passed)
{
//do staff
if(solution==true)
break;
}
}
But I dont know what to put in the 5minutes_not_passed.
the declaration
of the functions are like this:
void func1(array<array<int,4>,4> initial)
void func2(array<array<int,4>,4> initial)
I have found that I can use the thread library but I dont think meshing up with threads in a good idea. I believe something like a timer is needed.
Note that the functions sometimes might end before 5 minutes.
