Multithreading is based on the concepts of concurrency and parallelism. Concurrency refers to the ability of a task to be split into independent subtasks that can be executed out of order without affecting the final result:
Let's look at the following example:
class Baker { fun bake(): Cake { for (i in 0..1_000_000_000) { BigInteger.ONE.modPow(BigInteger.TEN, BigInteger.TEN) } return Cake() }}
The Baker class contains the bake() method, which invokes the modPow function that take a significant amount of time to imitate the process of baking and returns an instance of the Cake class:
class Cake
The Bakery class ...
