Question: Using the threading module, generate 4 threads to concurrently count the prime numbers of the list with each thread processing one quarter of the numbers

  1. Using the threading module, generate 4 threads to concurrently count the prime numbers of the list with each thread processing one quarter of the numbers (i.e., the 1st  thread processes n[0] to n[9999], the 2nd  thread processes n[10000] to n[19999], etc.); Also, using the time module and insert code to measure the running time of the threads, e.g., from start() to join().
  2. Using the concurrent.futures module, generate 4 threads to do the same and measure the program running time as above.
  3. Bonus: using the numpy module to define the array of the same size, count the number of prime numbers, and measure the running time.
