Sleepsort

A sleepsort implementation with threading in c. I have'nt done much in c in a while since college, so I thought I should try todo something goofy. I know it could have been less involved if I just used fork(), but where's the fun in that??

System

Should run on most systems with gcc installed. I wrote this on a mac and haven't really checked anything else.

How to Run

1. Download all the files to whatever directory you want.
2. Make an empty textfile and save it in that directory.
3. Update the #define PATH to the full path of the text file.
4. Update main.c however you want.
   1. make sure to update the #define TOTAL_THREADS to the number of elements in the array.
5. In terminal, cd to that directory and type make.
6. Type ./foo to run the program

Warning

There's technically no maximum of the number of threads that can be made by pthread, but don't make your array too big. I'd say < 100 with a max element < 10 for sanity's sake.

Notes

This is my first project here so please feel free to tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. I don't know why someone would use this in a project, but feel free just shout me out!
