Process: A process is a running instance of an application. It is an environment in which tasks can be executed. In a multiprocessing environment, each process runs in its own memory space and acts as an independent entity.
Thread: A thread is a lightweight unit of execution within a process. Threads share the same address space and resources, but each thread has its own stack, program counter, and registers. Threads are used to execute multiple tasks concurrently within a single process. They enable parallelism and asynchronous execution, making them ideal for time–critical applications.
