Concurrency & Parallelism & Multithreading

Concurrency is about dealing with multiple tasks at once. ❌ No, Needs multiple cores.

Parallelism is about doing multiple tasks at the exact same time. ✅ Yes, Needs multiple cores.

Multithreading is a technique that allows a program to have multiple threads of execution. ❌/✅ Depends, Needs multiple cores.

Template Metaprogramming

Metaprogramming writing programs that create, inspect, or modify other programs or themselves.

Template metaprogramming is a form of compile‑time metaprogramming in C++ where you use templates to perform computations, make decisions, and generate code during compilation, not at runtime.
