Multithreading allows you to run multiple threads (tasks) concurrently, which can improve performance for I/O-bound tasks.
To use multithreading in Python, you can use the threading
module:
import threading
def print_numbers():
for i in range(5):
print(i)
thread = threading.Thread(target=print_numbers)
thread.start()
thread.join()
This code starts a new thread that runs the print_numbers
function.
Create a multithreaded program that performs two tasks concurrently, such as downloading two different files simultaneously.
Answers: The threading
module is used for multithreading. The start()
method is used to start a thread.
