What type of multitasking does the Go scheduler use? What are the two types of multitasking?

The Go scheduler uses cooperative multitasking at the goroutine level. This means that context switching between goroutines occurs at points where a goroutine explicitly yields control (for example, when calling blocking operations or special scheduler functions).

Two main types of multitasking:

1. Cooperative — tasks control the switching themselves by yielding control.
2. Preemptive — the scheduler forcibly interrupts task execution to switch.

The Go runtime combines a cooperative approach with some elements of preemptive multitasking, for example, to prevent long blocking of goroutines.
