Threads in Rust: Parallel Computing

I think many people greatly underrate threads in Rust, so in this video I'll talk about them.

uses rwlock and proceeds to only use the write portion of it.
you should've grabbed a read first and checked if the number was larger. if it was then you grab a write and write to that number if it isn't then you never grab a write

[@rustwithoutrust]

Right, that wasn't the cleanest way. Actually, thought about it 😅
Great you've noticed that!
Edit: No, you actually can't do it, because you can't lock twice at the same time.

that wouldn’t work since it will cause data races, another thread could occupy it when you were going to grab a write.

@@kevz3351 your right. in this case RwLock does not help

​@@kevz3351You guys are getting me confused now 🤔 Lemme see who's right later for myself.
