Overview

The problem is to estimate the value of Pi using a Monte Carlo simulation method. In this method, we randomly generate points within a square and check how many of these points fall inside a circle inscribed within the square. The ratio of points inside the circle to the total points generated provides an approximation of Pi.

Multithreading Solution

To speed up the Monte Carlo simulation and make efficient use of multiple CPU cores, multithreading is employed. Here's how it works:
