single thread and multiple thread

Question

Would anyone know a way of explaining or could you direct me to some material regarding single Thread and multiple thread? I don't understand them at all. Every explanation I read is in very complicated English.

I want to understand them completely. Either a really good article / book / website etc where this is explained well would be well appreciated.

Answer 1

Threads are the smallest sequences of programmed instructions that can be managed independently.

Multithreading uses multiple threads of the same process to reduce algorithm runtime. Threads of the same process run in the same memory space.
