How do the concepts of processes and threads relate in object-oriented programming?

In object-oriented programming (OOP), processes and threads are concepts related to code execution, but they are not part of the OOP paradigm itself. A process is a separate program with its own address space, while a thread is a lightweight execution flow within a process that shares memory with other threads of the same process.

In Python, for example, objects and classes describe the structure and behavior of data, while threads are used for parallel execution of code. Thus, processes and threads are mechanisms for managing execution, and OOP is a way of organizing code and data.

Example: you can create a class with methods and run them in parallel in different threads to improve performance.
