Concurrent Programming

Concurrent programming is a technique in computing that allows multiple tasks to be executed simultaneously or interleaved. Think of it like cooking several dishes at once; you can chop vegetables for one dish while the other is simmering. In programming, this enables more efficient use of resources, such as CPU time, by allowing different parts of a program to work on separate tasks at the same time or share resources effectively. This approach is essential for improving performance in applications, especially those that require real-time processing or involve multiple users.
