What is a thread pool?

A thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized threads that are ready to perform tasks. It is a technique used in concurrent programming where a group of threads are created and managed together to efficiently execute multiple tasks. The thread pool maintains a queue of tasks and assigns them to available threads, allowing for better resource management and improved performance compared to creating a new thread for each task.
