Threads And Concurrency Questions
A thread in computer programming is a sequence of instructions that can be executed independently and concurrently with other threads within a program. It is a lightweight unit of execution that allows for parallelism and multitasking within a single process. Threads share the same memory space and resources of the process they belong to, but have their own program counter, stack, and local variables. They can communicate and synchronize with each other through shared data structures and synchronization primitives.
