What is Difference between thread and process?

Answer Posted / rajdeep gupta

Process is the execution of program.

If a program has different state execution then it is know as thread.

We can say that process is also a light weight thread.

ex - we work on MS-WORD then we type char simultaneously auto save the document and spell check , is a good example of thread.
