Concurrent Computing

Concurrent computing is a way for a computer to handle multiple tasks at the same time, improving efficiency. Instead of completing one task completely before starting another, it divides resources so that several tasks can progress simultaneously. This doesn't necessarily mean all tasks run at exactly the same moment (which is true in parallel computing), but they are managed in a way that appears to be happening concurrently. This approach is useful for increasing the responsiveness of applications and making better use of hardware, especially in environments where multiple operations need to be managed quickly and efficiently.
