What are threads?

Answer Posted / dhruv

In simple words, A dis-patchable unit of work. It includes a
processor context (which includes the program counter and
stack pointer) and its own data area for a stack (to enable
subroutine branching). Threads are created in a process. A
thread executes sequentially and is interruptable so that
the processor can turn to another thread.
