Multithreading in Python

Definition:

Multithreading in Python involves running multiple threads within a single process to perform concurrent tasks, allowing for parallel execution and improved efficiency.

Examples:

import threading

def task():

    for i in range(5):

        print(i)

Thread = threading.Thread(target=task)

Thread.start()

Thread.join() 

Output

0
1
2
3
4

Features:

• Threads execute tasks simultaneously
• Threads share memory and resources
• Threads have less overhead compared to processes.

Advantages:

• Can perform multiple operations concurrently
• Keeps applications responsive by handling background tasks
• Threads share data and resources

Uses:

• Ideal for tasks that involve waiting for I/O operations
• Allows background tasks to run without interrupting
• Useful for applications that require multiple tasks
