When should I use threading instead of async?

When should I use threading instead of async?

Threading is useful when you need to perform CPU-bound tasks concurrently, while async is better for I/O-bound tasks.

Can you give me an example of a CPU-bound task?

Sure! A good example is image processing, where the task requires significant computation.

And what about I/O-bound tasks?

I/O-bound tasks include operations like reading from a file or making network requests, where waiting is involved.

How do I decide which one to use in my project?

Consider the nature of your tasks: if they are CPU-intensive, go for threading; if they involve waiting for resources, use async.
