Thread
new(*args)public
Creates a new thread executing the given block.
Any args given to ::new will be passed to the block:
arr = [] a, b, c = 1, 2, 3 Thread.new(a,b,c) { |d,e,f| arr << d << e << f }.join arr #=> [1, 2, 3]
A ThreadError exception is raised if ::new is called without a block.
If you’re going to subclass Thread, be sure to call super in your initialize method, otherwise a ThreadError will be raised.
