If you’re into programming, you may for sure have heard the term Thread or Threading in relation to a computer program, but you weren’t exactly sure what it meant. How about Process? or Program? You likely understand that a thread is somehow related to a program or a process, but maybe, that’s as far as your understanding goes. In this video we explain what a thread is, and make sure that all the questions you may have surrounding this topic are answered.

I've always been confused about the differences between threads and processes, and I've watched many videos attempting to explain it. However, this particular video was the first one that helped me truly understand the distinction. Thank you so much for providing such a clear explanation !

[@andrejtrozic509]

Nice video, but I really have some questions.. So when program loads from some disk-space into RAM and it becomes executable and we say it becomes a process? -y/n The program in its running state is called process? -y/n Process is something like a company and threads are its employees , so the threads are processes workers? -y/n

[@geekific]

Thanks! y*3

A program is a collection of module(s) having one and only one entry point.

QUESTION: Scenario 1: I have open google chrome browser. A single instance of google chrome is loaded into memory. Which is called [1 proces] of google chrome right? Scenario 2: I have open google chrome twice. So two instances of google chrome loaded into memory. Which are called [2 process] of google chrome right? Scenario 3: Consider [Scenario 1]. I have one tab open which is by default. So I have [1 process] within a process according to your expectation? Scenario 4: Consider [Scenario 1] again. I have open two tab open. So I have [2 processes] within a process according to your expectations? I am confused please reply.🙏

[@geekific]

Scenarios 1, 2, 3 are correct. Concerning 4, and to relate to the video yes that would be it. But since late 2021 / early 2022, Chrome has undergone many changes and optimizations, so that might not be the case as of this comment. Don't stress on Chrome in particular, just try to focus on the main takeaways of the video :) Hope this answers it! (and sorry for being late)

Why 2 dislikes ? im not sure why anyone can disliked?

[@derryyeh]

agree, this video is informative. One thing to note, probably to some viewers, I found sometimes the "xxx of xxx will result in the form of xxx" is not straight forward. For example: "The joint effort of all threads will result in the execution of the sequence of operations." is wordy and not straightforward. It can simply say as "The operation is the sequence of execution. It's the joint effort of all threads." Something like that

You would have never imagined that, Elon Musk himself would name his company as X. #justkidding

I love you! (No homo)

[@matthewbombaci7780]

I spoke to Siri as to the difference between threads and layers. This KZbin was third on the list of Siri’s responses 🦥

[@matthewbombaci7780]

Why can’t I edit my KZbin post for this KZbin video?
