Threading is a term used in computer science, it is a thread execution comes when a fork happens in a computer program that goes into two or more programs.

On a single processor, multithreading generally occurs by time-division multiplexing (as in multitasking): the processor switches between different threads. This context switching generally happens frequently enough that the user perceives the threads or tasks as running at the same time.
