can someone confirm i'm sane please? given 100 threads (semi-pseudocode, this is java threads)

i should do:
for i = 0 to 100 then thread.start()
for i = 0 to 100 then thread.join()

instead of putting both commands in a single for block, because then the join would block the next thread's execution, right?

@squirrel it depends what you're trying to do

There are ways to respond to whichever thread manages to finish first, as opposed to just waiting for them in order

If you're waiting for them in order this is probably right

@squirrel then yeah this is right for the reason you pointed out (will try to join the first thread before starting others)
