Question 1.
What is the difference between concurrency and parallelism?
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether tasks are done at the same time or just managed at the same time.
Question 2.
Name one advantage of concurrent programming.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how tasks interact.
3Question 3.
What is the primary difference between concurrency and parallelism?
- Concurrency means tasks are done at the same time.
- Parallelism involves overlapping tasks.
- Concurrency is about managing multiple tasks
- while parallelism is about executing them simultaneously.

Show hintHide hint
Think about how to restrict access while avoiding deadlocks.
Question 6.
Imagine a scenario where you need to fetch data from a database and process it. Propose how you'd leverage both asynchrony and multithreading in your implementation.
