What is Multithreading?

Multithreading is a technique that enables a program to execute multiple parts (threads) concurrently within a single process. This allows for better utilization of system resources, as one thread can be processing data while another is waiting for input/output operations to complete. It's commonly used to improve the performance and responsiveness of applications, especially in scenarios involving parallel processing, user interface handling, and network communication.
