taustasäikeet
Taustasäikeet, known in English as background threads or worker threads, are a fundamental concept in computer programming that allow applications to perform tasks concurrently without blocking the main execution flow. When a program runs, it typically has a primary thread of execution, often called the main thread or UI thread. If this main thread is tasked with a long-running operation, such as downloading a large file or performing complex calculations, the entire application can become unresponsive.
To prevent this, taustasäikeet are employed. These are separate threads that can be created to handle these
The use of taustasäikeet is crucial for creating responsive and efficient applications, especially in environments where
