What is thread in simple meaning?

Answer 1

when you run your program, it executes your code sequentially on one thread. lets say you want to add another thread to execute a seperate code block while your main thread is running. that way
you can run two seperate code blocks at the same time.

This is especially useful in chat applications. you need to be able to receive chat messages from other users, but you also need to be able to send a message without interruption.

hypothesis 1)
You are process (in simple language... CPU).

hypothesis 2)
Thread 1 is 'reading book'.
Thread 2 is 'writing down some words'.

You read book short time. Then you write some words for a second.

This is thread.
