What is the difference between multitasking multiprogramming and multiprocessing? |
Answer
The difference of these three words/computer jargon is that: 1. Multitasking is the ability of a computer to handle a number of tasks or jobs simultaniously, while multiprogramming is the capacity to run or handle several programs at the same time. Lastly but not the least, multiprocessing is the ability or capacity of a computer to handle or rather solve a particular task in various ways. Hope you will make some sense out of this.

Mutitasking and mutiprogramming are basically one and the same thing, in which the computer handles many tasks or programs simultniously. but multiprocessing is the techniuqe of handling one or more jobs in different ways, like in mutiprocessor architecture.
