Starting multiple threads - 1

Report a typo

Here's a class that extends the Thread class.

class WorkerThread(name: String) : Thread(name) {
    override fun run() {
        // the method does something
    }
}

1) Create two instances of the given class and set the names like "worker-X", where X is any suffix (use the constructor to set a name).

2) Start the created threads. The method run of each instance must be executed in a new thread.

Note: the given class will be added to your solution automatically.

Write a program in Kotlin
fun main() {
// create instances and start threads here

}

// Don't change the code below
class WorkerThread(name: String) : Thread(name) {
val numberOfLines = 3

override fun run() {
val name = currentThread().name

if (!name.startsWith("worker-")) {
return
}

for (i in 0 until numberOfLines) {
println("do something...")
}
}
}
