Lab 4 Using threads.

This lab is a warm-up for the next assignment. We will learn to build a multi-threaded application. You will write a function that will simulate a long task. You will call the first method a number of times sequentially and record the time it take to complete. The will call the first method again but in a threaded manner and time the execution and then compare the two times.

Create three functions:

1. Create a function to the following:
   1. Take a string argument (name).
   2. Create a loop that will run for 100_000 time. In this loop, the program will sleep 0.000_1 seconds.
   3. After the completion of the loop, prints its name and a brief message.
2. Create a second function to do the following:
   1. Takes a number argument (times to execute the loop).
   2. Store the current time.
   3. Call the function in step 1 the required number of times (sequentially).
   4. Check the elapse time after the above calls complete.
   5. Print the results as well as a brief messag
3. Create a third function to do the following:
   1. Takes a number argument (times to execute the loop).
   2. Store the current time.
   3. Call the function in step 1 the required number of times (as threads).
   4. Check the elapse time after the above calls complete
   5. Print the results as well as a brief message
4. Write the statements
   1. to call the function in step 2 ten times
   2. to call the function in step 3 ten times

Code to be done in python. I need to create .py file
