Multithreading quiz 6 out of 6 correct

1.  What is multithreading in Python?

 A process of running multiple threads simultaneously within a single process.

 A process of running multiple processes simultaneously within a single thread

A process of running multiple processes simultaneously within multiple threads.

A process of running a single process within multiple threads.


 

Explanation: A is the correct answer, as multithreading in Python is the process of running multiple threads
simultaneously within a single process.

2. What is the purpose of multithreading in Python?

 To improve the performance of a program by using multiple CPUs or CPU cores.

 To improve the memory utilization of a program by using multiple CPUs or CPU cores.

To improve the overall efficiency of a program by using multiple CPUs or CPU cores.

 To improve the input/output operations of a program by using multiple CPUs or CPU cores.

Explanation: A is the correct answer, as the primary purpose of multithreading in Python is to improve the
performance of a program by using multiple CPUs or CPU cores.

3.  Which module is used to create and manage threads in Python?

 threading

 multiprocessing

 concurrent.futures

queue

Explanation: A is the correct answer, as the threading module is used to create and manage threads in Python.

4. What is a mutex in multithreading?

 A synchronization primitive used to protect shared resources from being accessed by multiple threads at
the same time.

A built-in function in Python that is used to release the Global Interpreter Lock.

Explanation: C is the correct answer, as a mutex is a synchronization primitive used to protect shared resources
from being accessed by multiple threads at the same time.

5.  Which method is used to start a new thread in Python?

 start()

 run()

create()

 begin()

Explanation: A is the correct answer, as the start() method is used to start a new thread in Python.

6.  What is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python?

 A lock used to protect shared resources from being accessed by multiple threads at the same time.

 A mechanism used by Python to ensure that only one thread executes Python bytecode at a time.

 A thread that runs in the background to handle incoming requests.

A type of thread that performs a specific task.

Explanation: B is the correct answer, as the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is a mechanism used by Python to
ensure that only one thread executes Python bytecode at a time.
