Multithreading

Multithreading allows concurrent execution of multiple threads within a single process, enhancing application performance by enabling parallel task execution. C++ provides multithreading support through the <thread> library (introduced in C++11), enabling thread creation, argument passing, and synchronization mechanisms like mutexes and locks to manage shared resource access and prevent data races. This introduction covers basic thread creation, passing arguments to threads, and using mutexes for thread synchronization; more advanced topics such as thread pools, condition variables, and atomic operations, exist for advanced synchronization and performance tuning.
