What is this program:
	This is a simple program written in c, and using OpenMP to parallelize 
	a part of the code. This code shows how to do conditional parallelization.
	If the condition is true, then the block of code right after the pragma.
	This program also shows how a for loop could be parallelized so that the
	number of itterations are devided among the threads.

How to Compile:
	$ gcc -fopenmp omp_if_parallel_for.c -o omp_if_parallel_for

How Setup Runtime Environment:
	$ export OMP_NUM_THREADS=32

How to Run this program:
	$ ./omp_if_parallel_for

Output:
	Run the program for multipel times, and each time change the value being asked. 
	What difference do you observe?
