<code cpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

void ShowMessage()
{
  std::cout << "Firing sidewinder missile " << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
  // Create a thread with a function pointer.
  std::thread t1(ShowMessage);
  t1.join();
  
  return 0;
}
</code>

<code cpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <thread>


void ShowMessage(std::string name, int age)
{
  std::cout << "Hello " << name << ".  You are " << age << " years old." << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
  std::thread t1(ShowMessage, "Peter", 21);
  t1.join();
