tell me similarities between thread and process

Answer Posted / david

Asking for the similarities is the wrong question to ask. The real question should be what is the relationship.

a thread is contained inside a process. Multiple threads can exist within the same process and share resources such as memory, while different processes do not share these resources.

A Process is an instance of a computer program, consisting of one or more threads.
