Hi Guruvulu,

Threads enhance performance and functionality by allowing a program to efficiently perform multiple tasks simultaneously.

In the case of common memory threads naturally have shared data regions while it has to be specially created and initialized for tasks.

Simply put, a thread is a program's path of execution. It allows execution of two or more sections of a program at the same time.

A thread is a single sequential flow of control within a program.

Task means for example, Writing data to a file ,Reading data from a file etc..

So we can create thread for each task(One Thread to write data to a file and another Thread to read data from a file, etc.)
