Multithreading allows executing multiple threads simultaneously by utilizing lightweight subprocesses called threads. It has advantages like not blocking the user as threads can perform independent operations concurrently. An exception in a single thread also does not affect other threads. Multithreading saves time by allowing many operations to be performed together. The key difference between multithreading and multitasking is that multithreading uses threads within a process while multitasking refers to running multiple processes simultaneously on an operating system.

 It doesn't block the user
because threads are
independent and you can
perform multiple operations
at the same time.
 Threads are independent, so
it doesn't affect other
threads if an exception
occurs in a single thread.
 You can perform many
operations together, so it
saves time.
