What is Processes?

In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. Depending on the operating system, a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently. Processes are fundamental to multitasking operating systems, allowing users to run multiple applications simultaneously. Operating systems manage processes by allocating resources like memory, CPU time, and I/O devices. Common process-related operations include creating, scheduling, executing, and terminating processes.
