rustHow to create a thread in Rust?

Creating a thread in Rust is easy and straightforward. The std::thread module provides the spawn function to create a new thread.

use std::thread;

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

The spawn function takes a closure as an argument and returns a JoinHandle which can be used to join the thread and wait for its completion.

1. use std::thread: imports the thread module from the standard library.
2. thread::spawn: creates a new thread and takes a closure as an argument.
3. JoinHandle: returned by the spawn function, can be used to join the thread and wait for its completion.
