## Running a simple function in a thread This first example demonstrates how you can run an expensive computation in a worker thread and obtain its result. First, we define the function that we want to execute in the worker thread: ``` javascript function fibo(n) { return n > 1 ? fibo(n - 1) + fibo(n - 2) : 1; } ``` Then, we create a worker thread with the `Threads.create` call: ``` javascript var Threads = require('webworker-threads'); var t = Threads.create(); ``` In the next step, we load the function into the worker thead. We get the function's source with `fibo.toString()` and we call `t.eval(source)` to evalutate it into the worker thread's context: ``` javascript t.eval(fibo); ``` Now, we are ready to call this function. We use the `t.eval` function again, with two arguments this time. The first argument is the expression to evaluate. The second one is a callback that receives the result (or an error if there was one). ``` javascript t.eval('fibo(10)', function(err, result) { if (err) throw err; // something abnormal // print the result console.log('fibo(10)=' + result); // chain with next step step2(); }); ``` Let's call it again: ``` javascript function step2() { t.eval('fibo(20)', function(err, result) { if (err) throw err; console.log('fibo(20)=' + result); step3(); }); } ``` If the expression is invalid, we get an error through the callback ``` javascript function step3() { // 'x' is not defined t.eval('fibo(x)', function(err, result) { console.log('error=' + err); step4(); }); } ``` But the thread is still alive and ready to accept more calls: ``` javascript function step4() { t.eval('fibo(15)', function(err, result) { console.log('fibo(15)=' + result); step5(); }); } ``` Once we are done, we destroy the thread: ``` javascript function step5() { t.destroy(); } ``` ### Output ``` fibo(10)=89 fibo(20)=10946 error=Error: ReferenceError: x is not defined fibo(15)=987 ```
