advancedMultithreading & Concurrency161 of 436
What is multithreading? When would you use multiple threads in a real application? How is it different from asynchronous programming?
Tests whether you separate the two correctly -- multithreading is about using multiple threads of execution (often blocking), while asynchronous programming is about non-blocking composition of work that may run on far fewer threads (e.g. an event loop) -- so 'async' doesn't automatically mean 'multithreaded.'
