Here is just a way to simulate multi-threading in Javascript
Now I am going to create 3 threads which will calculate numbers addition, numbers can be divided with 13 and numbers can be divided with 3 till 10000000000. And these 3 functions are not able to run in same time as what Concurrency means. But I will show you a trick that will make these functions run recursively in the same time : jsFiddle
This code belongs to me.
Body Part
<div class="div1">
<input type="button" value="start/stop" onclick="_thread1.control ? _thread1.stop() : _thread1.start();" /><span>Counting summation of numbers till 10000000000</span> = <span id="1">0</span>
</div>
<div class="div2">
<input type="button" value="start/stop" onclick="_thread2.control ? _thread2.stop() : _thread2.start();" /><span>Counting numbers can be divided with 13 till 10000000000</span> = <span id="2">0</span>
</div>
<div class="div3">
<input type="button" value="start/stop" onclick="_thread3.control ? _thread3.stop() : _thread3.start();" /><span>Counting numbers can be divided with 3 till 10000000000</span> = <span id="3">0</span>
</div>
Javascript Part
var _thread1 = {//This is my thread as object
control: false,//this is my control that will be used for start stop
value: 0, //stores my result
current: 0, //stores current number
func: function () { //this is my func that will run
if (this.control) { // checking for control to run
if (this.current < 10000000000) {
this.value += this.current;
document.getElementById("1").innerHTML = this.value;
this.current++;
}
}
setTimeout(function () { // And here is the trick! setTimeout is a king that will help us simulate threading in javascript
_thread1.func(); //You cannot use this.func() just try to call with your object name
}, 0);
},
start: function () {
this.control = true; //start function
},
stop: function () {
this.control = false; //stop function
},
init: function () {
setTimeout(function () {
_thread1.func(); // the first call of our thread
}, 0)
}
};
var _thread2 = {
control: false,
value: 0,
current: 0,
func: function () {
if (this.control) {
if (this.current % 13 == 0) {
this.value++;
}
this.current++;
document.getElementById("2").innerHTML = this.value;
}
setTimeout(function () {
_thread2.func();
}, 0);
},
start: function () {
this.control = true;
},
stop: function () {
this.control = false;
},
init: function () {
setTimeout(function () {
_thread2.func();
}, 0)
}
};
var _thread3 = {
control: false,
value: 0,
current: 0,
func: function () {
if (this.control) {
if (this.current % 3 == 0) {
this.value++;
}
this.current++;
document.getElementById("3").innerHTML = this.value;
}
setTimeout(function () {
_thread3.func();
}, 0);
},
start: function () {
this.control = true;
},
stop: function () {
this.control = false;
},
init: function () {
setTimeout(function () {
_thread3.func();
}, 0)
}
};
_thread1.init();
_thread2.init();
_thread3.init();
I hope this way will be helpful.
