C#

Multithreading in C# is a process in which multiple threads work simultaneously. It is a process to achieve multitasking. It saves time because multiple tasks are being executed at a time. To create multithreaded application in C#, we need to use  System.Threding  namespace. System.Threading Namespace The System.Threading namespace contains classes and interfaces to provide the facility of multithreaded programming. It also provides classes to synchronize the thread resource. A list of commonly used classes is given below: Thread Mutex Timer Monitor Semaphore ThreadLocal ThreadPool Volatile etc. Process and Thread A process represents an application whereas a thread represents a module of the application. Process is heavyweight component whereas thread is lightweight. A thread can be termed as lightweight subprocess because it is executed inside a process. Whenever you create a process, a separate memory area is occupied. But threads share a common memory area.
