Classes are reference types, structs are value types. GCD is low-level API, Operation queue is high-level API for concurrency.

• Classes are reference types, stored on the heap. Structs are value types, stored on the stack.

• GCD is a low-level API for managing concurrent operations. Operation queue is a high-level API built on top of GCD.

• GCD provides a simple and efficient API for dispatching tasks to a queue. Operation que...read more
