Thread#

Initializing the Thread Class #

A Thread is created by using the following constructor:

Thread(callback, arg)

This constructor uses two parameters:

Parameter	Description
`callback`	A previously defined function that will be executed as the entry point when the thread is invoked.
`arg`	Optional. A tuple that is used to pass arguments to the thread entry function.

# Define the function "thread_print".
def thread_print():
    brain.screen.print("Printing!")
# Construct a Thread "thread" with the
# Thread class.
thread = Thread(thread_print)

This thread object will be used in all subsequent examples throughout this API documentation when referring to Thread class methods.
