C/C++ Threads

Threads in C/C++ are like multiple workers within a single program, each capable of performing tasks simultaneously. Instead of executing one task after another, threads enable a program to handle multiple operations at once—such as responding to user input, processing data, or updating the display—making the program faster and more efficient. They share the same memory space, allowing quick data exchange, but require careful management to avoid errors. Overall, threads help programs run more smoothly and efficiently by breaking tasks into smaller, concurrent units of execution.
