Understanding Concurrency and Parallelism

Concurrency and parallelism are distinct concepts in software development. Concurrency deals with handling multiple tasks simultaneously within the same problem domain, such as managing user input and background operations in software. On the other hand, parallelism involves utilizing multiple computing resources to improve program performance, like using different CPUs to process tasks concurrently. While both can be combined in some scenarios, understanding their fundamental differences is crucial in designing efficient software systems.
