Can someone explain the exact definition of concurrency in simple terms? or What’s the real-world def

Concurrency is like handling multiple tasks in overlapping time periods, but not necessarily simultaneously. Think of a chef prepping ingredients while also keeping an eye on the stove—they’re not doing both at the *exact* same second, but they’re managing both.

Parallelism, on the other hand, is like having two chefs working side by side.

For a deeper dive, check out the "Concurrency vs. Parallelism" section on GeeksforGeeks. Super helpful for clearing up the definition of concurrency!
