Brilliant. Using ordinary language to explain computing terminology, rather than using other types of computing terminology, which many other computer guys & gals resort to. Thank you very much!

And mainly, the difference between concurrency and parallelism.

I assume you want to ask if a process without a thread can have advantage over single threaded process ..

A process will have at least one thread in execution. I come from java background, so for us, that thread is depicted as a Main thread
So a process can never have zero/no thread.

Apology if I didn’t read the question right

Thanks for the blog. I would like to ask that here is said that single process having single thread acts like a single process only. Then why to we still choose single threaded processes. Is there any benefits available for sibgle threaded over just using a process without threads? Kindly respond.

Thanks,
Preethi
