/*
Multithreading is a specialized form of multitasking and a multitasking is the feature that allows your computer to run two or more programs concurrently.
    In general, there are two types of multitasking: process-based and thread-based.

Process-based multitasking handles the concurrent execution of programs.
    Thread-based multitasking deals with the concurrent execution of pieces of the same program.

A multithreaded program contains two or more parts that can run concurrently.
    Each part of such a program is called a thread, and each thread defines a separate path of execution.
