Threading is a programming technique that allows multiple parts of a program to run concurrently.
- **Threads:** Lightweight processes within a single program.
- Context Switching:** The process of switching between threads – a small overhead.
- Concurrency:** The ability to execute multiple tasks simultaneously.
- **Increased Responsiveness:** UI remains responsive while background tasks run.
- **Resource Utilization:** More efficient use of CPU resources.
- **Parallel Processing:** Executing multiple tasks concurrently.
Consider a web server that handles multiple client requests. Each request can be handled by a separate thread.
