2. 2.

   What is multithreading?

   Hint

   Consider how threads work in a program.

3. 3.

   What is the main goal of parallel programming?

   • Execute tasks in sequence
   • Execute multiple tasks at the same time
   • Reduce code complexity

   Hint

   Think about improving speed in processing.

4. 4.

   True or False: In concurrent programming, tasks always run simultaneously.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how tasks might interact or share time.

5. 5.

   Describe a scenario where you would use multiprocessing instead of multithreading. Include reasons for your choice.

   Hint

   Consider the nature of the tasks and how they can be distributed across resources.

6. 6.

   Implement a basic asynchronous callback function in JavaScript. Explain how it operates and the benefits it brings.

   Hint
