Thread Safety

Thread safety refers to a concept in programming where a piece of code can function correctly when multiple threads are accessing it simultaneously. Threads are like separate paths of execution that can run alongside each other in a program. If code is thread-safe, it ensures that the operations performed by these threads do not interfere with each other, preventing errors or unpredictable behavior. This is especially important in applications that rely on multitasking, as it allows for efficient use of resources without causing issues like data corruption or crashes.
