what is a thread and how it work?

[Signo]

This is a thread. It works like this, you ask and people usually answer.

Unless you are asking about threads on a program.  In that case, In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system

A thread is like a fiber, but a thread.

I don't think replies are necessary to define something as a thread. A car is still a car regardless of it has passengers or not. The same applies to such - it's a thread regardless of replies.

 

A thread is everything and nothing at the same time.

We can, but we never got context for your question or notice that your question was answered.

[kerbiloid]

We still omit a "multithreading".
