Explain multithreading.

What will be an ideal response?

A thread is a sequence of instructions within a program that is independent of other threads, such as spell checking, printing, and opening documents in a word processing program. Operating systems that support multithreading have the ability to rotate between multiple threads (similar to the way multitasking can rotate between multiple programs) so that processing is completed faster and more efficiently, even though only one thread is executed by a single core at one time. Most operating systems support multithreading.
