the loop the string in
currentName
is checked against the name of the executing thread. If

the name of the new thread is displayed, and
currentName
is given the name of the new
thread. Displaying each thread switch allows you to watch (in a very imprecise way) when
the threads gain access to the CPU. After both threads stop, the number of iterations for
each loop is displayed.
