Threading

Threading is a process used by computers to perform multiple tasks simultaneously within a single program. Think of a thread as a separate line of execution that can run independently but shares resources like memory with other threads in the same program. This allows a computer to handle multiple activities at once, such as opening a webpage while downloading files or playing music. Multithreading improves efficiency and responsiveness, making software more performant by dividing work into smaller, manageable parts that can run concurrently.
