Types of Multitasking

There are two types of multitasking:

1. Process Based:
- Process-based multitasking handles the concurrent execution of programs.
eg.:running word processor the same time you are browsing the net.
2. Thread Based
- Thread-based multitasking deals with the concurrent execution of pieces of the same program.
eg.: A text editor can be formatting text at the same time that it is printing.
