Also, even if you declare i as global to solve this issue, you would not get
what you expect because all the threads you create get the _same_ address
pointing to the same variable i. This variable will keep on incrementing in
the background till all your threads are created and thus your threads will
print the current value of i which is not what you expect.

You can pass the variable i as a _value_ directly instead of passing a
pointer to solve this problem.
