Inheritance allows classes to inherit at...
Multithreading is the ability of a CPU to execute multiple threads concurrently, allowing for improved performance and responsiveness.
Multithreading allows multiple tasks to be executed simultaneously on a single CPU core.
Each thread has its own program counter, stack, and set of registers.
Example: A web browser using multithreading to load a webpage while simultaneously downloading images in the background.
OOP concepts include encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, essential for software design.
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods. Example: A class 'Car' with properties like 'speed' and methods like 'accelerate()'.
