For example, a web server handles several requests from multiple web browsers and serves them with HTML web pages simultaneously. Each request is treated like a small program. The ability to run and make progress on multiple smaller components of a larger program simultaneously is known as concurrency. Concurrent programming often requires the use of different constructs, like ...
