rustHow to borrow a thread in Rust?

Threads in Rust are created using the std::thread::spawn function. This function takes a closure as an argument and returns a std::thread::JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread.

use std::thread;

let handle = thread::spawn(|| {
    println!("Hello from a thread!");
});

The code above creates a thread which prints "Hello from a thread!" when it is executed.

1. use std::thread: imports the thread module from the std crate.
2. thread::spawn: creates a thread and returns a JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread.
3. || { ... }: a closure which is passed to the spawn function. This closure is executed in the thread.
4. handle: a JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread.
