Program with 2 threads printing even and odd numbers in sequence. How to make it SMP safe?

Use mutex locks to ensure only one thread accesses the shared resource (the number to be printed) at a time
Use condition variables to signal when it's safe for the other thread to access the shared resource
Use atomic variables to ensure that the shared resource is accessed atomically
Use thread-safe data structures to store the shared resource
Use thread-local storage to avoid contention between threads
Use thread pools to limit the number of threads accessing the shared resource
Use semaphores to control access to the shared resource
