threads in Win32 using C++

[Anjola]

if I haveto multiply two matrices one 3x2 and the other 2x3, what threads I have to create . I know that there are 10 of them.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
/* Allocate memory for a matrix of given order */
void create_matrix( int ***mat, int m, int n)
{
int **la = NULL;
int i;

//la = (int**)malloc(m * sizeof(int*));

for ( i=0; i <m; i++ )
la[i] = (int *)malloc( n* sizeof(int));

*mat = la;

return;
}


/* free memory of matrix allocated in create_matrix() */

void free_matrix( int ***mat, int m)
{
int **la = NULL;
int i;

la = *mat;

for ( i=0; i <m; i++ )
free (la[i] );

free ( la );

*mat=NULL;

return;
}


/* Print a matrix of order (mxn) */

void print_matrix( int **mat, int m, int n)
{
int i,j;

printf("Matrix of order(%dx%d)\n" ,m,n);
printf("\n");
for ( i=0; i <m; i++ )
{

return;

while(1) {

/* Multyply the matrices */

for ( k = 0; k < m2; k ++ )

a. There are rather more than 10 threads on any running Windows system.

b. But you should only need 1 to perform any sort of mathematical operation including matrix multiplication.
