This program creates 5 threads, each displaying a 'Hello World' message and its ID. \\ After the creation of all the threads, the main program (main) waits for each thread to finish before it concludes. It's important to note that error handling and thread synchronization are critical aspects when working with pthreads, in order to avoid race conditions and other concurrency issues.
