multi-threading

Multi-threading is a way computers improve performance by running multiple tasks simultaneously within a single program. Think of it like a chef preparing several dishes at once, instead of one after another. Each thread is a separate "line of work" that can operate independently but share resources like memory. This enables faster processing, better utilization of hardware, and more responsive applications—like web browsers loading pages quickly or games running smoothly—by efficiently managing multiple tasks at the same time.
